Chick that doesn’t walk

[slifeh]

I have a chick that is a little older than a week.. the other chicks are almost triple the size of this little guy ... he also has curled toes and walks on his knees. It seems like he eats and drinks occasionally. It appears that he’s not as active though.. tends to lay around and sleep but will move around and start chirping if you talk to him or pet him. He also tends to put more weight on left leg vs right leg when moving around. Not sure what’s going on but would like to correct it if possible.

Can you please post some photos?

The chick has never walked? Have you tried anything to correct or assist the chick?

The chick has never been able to straighten his legs and walk. I’ve checked and it appears that the tendons are in place.. I’ve tried hobbles... makes the situation worse. I’ve also taped the toes but it didn’t correct the problem. When I taped the toes and tried hobbles it just stopped trying to get around all together.

Sometimes leg issues cannot be fixed. I'm sorry.
