Hello and welcome to BYC.
I'd suggest posting on the ER forum for the best advice.

(Please read this link first): https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/have-an-emergency-disease-please-read-first.3569/

Then post on this link:

I hope the members over on the ER forum can help you out (Pork Pie Ken has given you the link). Be sure to provide as many details as possible when you post over there...the more they know about your chick, the better they'll be able to help you out.

Best of luck!

Welcome to BYC! And best wishes for that little chick. Hopefully it's something minor.

Welcome to BYC. Is it just one chick or more than that ? Are you feeding an appropriate diet ? If so and it is only one chick I would expect you may be dealing with a congenital or hatching problem.

I didn't see your post in the other forum. You will need to give more info for us to try to help. How many chicks do you have and how many are having difficulty? What are you feeding them? And where and how are they being housed? It could be anything from vitamin deficiency to splay leg or coccidosis. Also...explain exactly what they are doing....sitting, falling, etc.

It would be very helpful if you could post photos of legs & feet, or even just showing how chick stands.
