Perhaps this is a simple case of straddle legs if hip
joints popped out from injury. If so the "hobble brace"
can be used to treat it. Find my article and a picture of
it at the UPA website:
www.peafowl.org/ARTICLES/1/
This brace can be made of tape, yarn or even a band-ade
wrapped around legs just above feet connecting them about
two inches apart so that chick can walk.
--------
But if the Achilles tendon has popped out of place a
different treatment may be needed.
If you can take pictures of the chick's legs and send
them to my email address or store pictures at village-
photos.com or photobucket and post link here I will look
at photos and try to help you with the treatment.
