I just recently hatched my first eggs and one chick came out with one eye and he wont walk on his right leg. I can push on it when holding him and he pushes back a little however he wont walk on it. He walks around and eats and drinks but its more of a hop and fall kind of thing. What can I do? Everything else seems fine with him. His toes and leg seems completley normal and he's not in pain cause he wont chirp or anything if I touch his leg he wont chirp or anything.
 
Try some chick vitamins that contain riboflavin and other b vitamins. If younhave B complex instead, you could give that orally with a dropper, 1/4 tablet dissolved into a little water. PolyVisol without iron, Poultry NutriDrench are other good choices. Take a picture of the chick trying to stand while you hold it up, so we can see if there is anything obvious. Another trick is to stand the chick in a heavy padded cup or glass to get it used to standing on it’s legs.
