My chicks are almost 4 weeks old. They have all been active and running around. Then this morning I noticed one of the chicks has developed toes that curl under on both feet and has trouble walking. The chick was fine yesterday. I’ve read similar posts but these all seemed to involve younger chicks. I’ve attached a picture. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What do you feed and how is the chick housed?

Looks like it may be Crooked toes instead of Curled toes, but hard to tell.

You can try taping the feet flat, but at 4wks, that may be painful.
It would be a good idea to give the chick 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily for several weeks as well.
