What do I do for this little bird?
Thoughts?

Could be a slipped tendon, have you felt the back of the joint to see if that's in place?

Leg issues are hard to diagnose and correct at times, this little one may a leg bone deformity, Marek's disease, failure to thrive, etc.
You can try splinting to see if that makes a difference, but if there's any swelling of the joint, then the splint would need to be checked several times a day to make sure it's not too tight.

I would also give B-Complex, 1/4 tablet daily.

Thanks.

I don't feel anything different between the two legs. Slipped tendon I'm hopeful for, versus Marek's of course.

What can I do to assess for a slipped tendon?
How to treat?

Updating.

After separating chick and dosing with B complex every few days or a week, chick was doing so well I brought it back to the coop.

In doing well, I mean the toe curling was gone, walking slightly wiggly but well, would attempt to fly and could get up short distances on own, and wanted to roost with the other chicks. It wasn't getting run over anymore.

Fast forward, yesterday I wasn't happy again with how chick wasn't capable of being a chick. Decided to watch closely. The bantams like to roost way high up, about 6'. This poor chick would desperately try to fly up to them, fail, flail around, and give up to cozy with a lazy standard chick.
This AM the toe curling and wobbly walk is back. Gave another dose of complex.

So...what is going on here? What else can I do?
