2 month old baby chicks deformity

[Kimberly Wolfe]

Only 13 out of 16 survived the first month, now only 8 out of 13 survived the edge of Harvey. And only one chick has deformed feet. Can I correct his feet or is he gonna be the odd one out? He's slower than the rest too..

"IMMEDIATELY increase Riboflavin in chick's diet."

It may be partially fixable - you can try - at 2months it may not have gone too far. I agree - offering B2 Riboflavin is a good idea. You can crush a human B-Complex tablet and add it to her chick starter daily.

Curled toes can be due to a number of things - Vitamin/nutritional deficiency, genetics/developmental disorders and incorrect incubation temperature/humidity are a few of the more common causes. If he makes it, I would not use him for breeding.

You can try taping them to see if there is any improvement https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/curled-up-chick-toes.1139759/
