Chick Can't Walk

[Creteloc]

This is one of the 'fun and funky' breeds, so I have no idea what mixed breed she is. She's about 6 weeks old and can't walk because of the feathers on her feet. She stumbles around and gets run over by the other 8 chicks. She's way small (they aren't bantams) and isn't doing well.

Do I cut the feathers off her feet? Her legs look malformed because of all of the feathers she has to avoid. What should I do with her?

Her left leg looks bent in the photos, but I don't see that in person. Odd.

I'm sorry about your chick.
It looks like she has a leg bone deformity. Probably Valgus deformity, twisted tibia or similar.
Unfortunately, a leg like that usually cannot be corrected. A lot of times if a chick has external deformities, they also have internal development issues as well - it's hard to know. Since she is not doing well, she may be failing to thrive. If you feel she is suffering, it would be kinder to put her down.

If you want to try offering supportive care, you can do that as well. Poultry Vitamins that contain B-2 - I would give her Poultry Cell 2 times a week for a couple of weeks. (1cc per 3 lbs of weight). See that she is eating/drinking well.
Do keep in mind as she grows/gains weight, that the leg may get worse and may not be able to hold her up at all or the tendon could slip or blow out.

I'm very sorry

Thank you. I will humanely put her down. If she's even a she, she might be a boy.
