Subject: 6week old chick gets twisted leg overnight!

Help! My 6 week old Barred Rock has suddenly developed leg problems. It's right leg is twisted outward and it's foot is backwards. It's joint is bent the opposite way and has round swelling. It has always had a crooked middle toe on that foot and had a hatch mate exactly the same that we had to cull at 3 days. "Tootsie" has made it a long way and is actually my favorite chick. Is there any way to help? It has been this way for 2 days but is still eating sleeping and getting around. My box has newspaper and wood chip flooring. We did put a roost in there so she may have had an accident. I can provide pictures if you tell me how. Thank you.
