Chick Can't Curl Toes

[McButterball]

One of our 2 week old chicks has a lame leg and can't curl her toes but can stretch her leg straight back. Any idea what might be wrong?

Hi @McButterball Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos or a video?

Leg and feet problems in young chicks can be from several things - hatching difficulties, genetics, injury and nutritional/vitamin deficiency are a few.

Offer some poultry vitamins that contains Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) or you can crush a human B-Complex vitamin and add it to the feed daily.

Here's some helpful information on leg issues:
