Once she is done with the Corid, get her on some poultry vitamins that contain B2(Riboflavin) or you can give her 1/4tablet of human B-Complex daily for a week. Wait until you are finished with the Corid though.
She may have some leg issues, sometimes it's hard to know. Do you have a photo of her standing on her own?

The one with crooked feet, that looks like a genetic deformity - could be from improper incubation or even parent stock deficiency. I don't believe you had anything to do with that. Are you offering vitamins to her that has B2? Crooked toes are different from "curled toes". Most of the time Crooked ones cannot be fixed. Curled ones if caught early can sometimes be corrected, but not always.
She may learn to adapt, but sadly sometimes if there is an "external" deformity, there could also be internal development problems too and chicks fail to thrive.
I know you are doing everything you can for them. I hate to say it, but time will tell how this all comes out. Just keep doing what you're doing
The yellow one is now slowly walking so I think she’ll be ok! I attached some pictures.
Thanks for your thoughts on Crooked foot. I will just keep trying and see how it turns out. She was the largest chick we received so it’s just so surprising, but she’s definitely not growing as fast as the others. I have been giving them the liquid vitamins with b2 mixed with their food, but I’ve now taken her out of the brooder to make sure she’s able to eat and not getting trampled.
