This girl can’t stand, only walks on her hocks. She hatched with curly toes on one foot, and splay leg on the other. I have corrected those issues, but now she can’t straighten her legs without help. I wrapped her legs in the straight position and put her in a cup chair for a couple hours. She’s in a quiet place resting her legs now. I have been feeding her egg yolk, and vitamins with electrolytes.
Any advice is welcome, please help!

Looks like her hocks are deformed. She could have slipped tendons. I was reading about this recently. Here's the site.
