10 week old chick wobbly on legs and curled toes

[Katieswan]

Looking for some advice on my 10 week old chick. She seems to be wobbly on her legs. She can walk and stand up but it seems that her feet turn out more and her hock joints seem to almost touch when she walks. I can see flexibility or instability in her "hip" area. Also two of her toes on one foot are curl sideways now. I noticed the toes a week ago and now I have noticed her walking weird in the last few days. Everything else seems normal with her other than this. When she was younger, only about 3-4 weeks old, she also had a few days that she didn't seem to be able to walk well. She was not able to stand long and could only take a few step with flapping her wings. I gave her some save a chick vitamins and added acv to water and then she seemed fine until now. I have now added the save a chick again but am not sure what else to do. Any advice on what could be causing this and how I may be able to help her? Will she be able to live and lay eggs like this?

There is a leg bone deformity called varus valgus deformity that possibly could be what's wrong with your chick. I cannot post links now, but if you simply Google " varus valgus deformity in chickens," you should get some links to read about this. You also may go to the top of this page to also do that search for BYC posts. I would start a poultry vitamin with minerals in the water.
