My baby chick can not use his right hip (shown in picture) he lays on it and the foot stays in the front of him , he flops around to get around - I believe he got hurt during hatching. I’ve put him with another chick under heat to keep him safe from getting injured more . What can I do to help him! Thank you !

It might have a displaced or slipped tendon.

This article is about peacocks but same difference and might help.
Here is another one about the same but for chicks, and shows a form of chicken sling.

Here's a thread just on chick slings.

Hopefully one of the first two articles can help you help it and it stands a great chance of being normal again!
