Subject: Spradle Leg in 3-4 week old chick....

I have a 3-4 week old lavender orpington. She was hatched with spradle leg well I think it was this one.... I fixed it using the band aid brace. For the first 2-3 weeks I watched the chicks every night after work to make sure that nobody else had signs of spradle leg and that she was moving normally... They all seemed fine. . The other night I saw one chick struggling to get up leg out behind her .... I thought she was really sick but what it turned out to be was her leg sticks out behind her and it is bent at the "knee" about 90 degrees... It seems like this happen over night ... When I move the leg I do not see how I can fix this... I tried making a brace to help her get some traction and she kept falling over so I took it off.... I don't know what to do for her or if there is anything. Is there anyway I can help my chick?? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks!
