Curled feet???! What can I do?

[SquawkFlock]

We just got our order of buff orpingtons but after I got them settled in a noticed one seemed to stay to itself so I pulled her out to check on her and noticed her feet are kinda curled. She "walks" on the side of them. But is slow and has a hard time of it with all the others running around. Is there anything I can do to help her out? Will they straighten out over time? I just don't want her to suffer.

Get some chick vitamins with riboflavin listed on the label, or get some human vitamin B complex to mix with water 1/4 tablet daily, or polyvisol eithout iron right away, and start treatment. A good picture of her standing would be helpful as well.

Do I need to separate her from the rest or give them all the vitamins? Maybe this pic will help

No need ro separate at such a young age unless she is being hurt. All chicks can drink the vitamins or just give them to the chick.

Ok. Thank you so much! Hopefully all will be well.

Oops, I forgot to mention, that you should make some chick shoes like this with tape and use for several days.
