My chick is hopping. Won’t put weight on other leg and it is starting to twist round more. It can move its toes and seems healthy otherwise. Any advice?
 
Can you post a pic of the leg?
I also read this in the internet:
"One cause of spraddle leg is slick floors that result in chicks losing their footing. The legs twist out from the hip and remain in that position unless corrected. Other causes are: temperature fluctuations during incubation; a difficult hatch that makes legs weak; a leg or foot injury; brooder overcrowding; or a vitamin deficiency."
