2 day old chick with weak foot or leg, possibly not eating

Chick is still going strong but not eating like the rest. Whenever it gets around the feeder it never pecks but when it goes to the waterer it will drink and peck sometimes.

The feeder is the standard multi hole type but the waterer is this one:

I bought two of them in a pack and they have reversible sides so you can use one side for water and the other side as a feeder.

So I thought if the chick was pecking at the waterer and not at the feeder with holes, why not try the feeder side?

It worked! Granted it still isn't eating as voraciously as the others yet, but it was the very first time I've witnessed it eating the starter crumbles.

Now I remember why I hate "open" feeder. Crumble is everywhere in the floor of the brooder.

B complex liquid dosage is 1/4 ml daily. You can try feeding the chick mushy wet feed made wet with water, and give it watery cooked egg yolk several times a day.

Thanks for pointing me in the right directions. I think the chick is mostly on the way to being just another chick I can't tell apart from others (it was born with 7 other Speckled Sussex chicks).

I still know who it is but I'm betting within 2-3 days I won't be able to.
