yesterday I recieved my day old chicks, all seemed heathy until tonight one chick's seet have started to curl in! poor chick, I am trying to see if a bandain will help but IDK if that will work, what would cause this to happen 2 days after hatch?
 
I found this thread on curling feet https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=175978&p=2
seems
kind of young for a chick to have a vitamin deficiency though

Thank you! i read resurch that claims the defeciency starts at 10 days incabation, they either get it for genetic reasons or mom's diet. The chick is not doing to good, gave him vitamins,added bird vitamins to the water but he isn't eating and he took off his splints last night,one foot is worse then the other, hopefull I don't have to cull her:(

I gave it viamins this morning and when I was in the feed store I picked up electrolyte vitamins, hopefully she will pull through. When I when to check on the chicks I could hardly notice it at first, hopefully she gets better.
