Chick has leg problem! Help me please

[Wdgross10]

When I checked on my chicks I noticed one was having trouble getting around this morning. It’s leg is injured and i need to know what’s wrong and how to fix it if i can fix! Are it’s toes crooked too??
Please help me out if you can!

The chick is 2 weeks old. It’s kinda spinning around on the leg and it’s leg goes behind him when it tries walking. I don’t recall seeing the injury yesterday..

When it turns around it’s leg goes behind it and then will move and its leg goes back forward.

Looks like maybe a slipped Achilles tendon. There are also other bone deformities that can happen. Here is a link with more info on the tendon, and a video where you can see the tendon moving in and out of place. Hopefully one of those will be helpful.

maybe it is spraddle leg. Try tying the legs together of the chick and loosen the string a little each day.
