She Hatched the end of February. Somehow I missed that her feet and legs are a bit wonky. She gets around, but a bit slower than the rest and is smaller. Is there anything I can do to help her?

Oh dear. That's genetic. I don't personally know of anything you can do for this. Whatever you decide, don't breed from her - those genetics should not be passed on. There may be other abnormalities as well on the inside where you can't see. Slower growth doesn't surprise me.

The only thing you can do is make sure she has adequate access to food and water and isn't bullied too much, since everyone else will probably be higher on the pecking order than her and able to access food and water more quickly.
