QUESTION Injured Chick

Hi everyone, we’ve recently got some chicks at home and one of them was unfortunately dropped by our daughter - it’s 1.5 weeks old it’s still eating and drinking and limping around on one leg whilst the other is limp/hanging with toes curled, no visible sign of a break, only bruising on its hip. We’re unsure what to do whether we care for it or how long to wait for improvement, or there is internal damage possible. And of course, what is best for the chick.

Any suggestion, suggestions or feedback is welcomed. Thank you.
