Floppy chick.

I know I’ve already asked about it two months ago. I have the same problem again and it’s worse.
I have a bunch of two day old chicks. One of them walks on its ankles and has its feet bent upwards. See drawing below. It also has a hard time raising its head and keeping its wings in the correct position.
I gave it water with a crushed vitamin pill vinegar and sugar.
The chick doesn’t really seem better.

It's walking on its hocks? Let me see what I can find.
The vinegar won't help it in this case and will discourage it from drinking.

Understood I will take the vinegar out. I was told to put vinegar in the overall water to prevent bum problems. Thanks for the article!

Ok. So I tied it like it showed in the picture, and also casted it’s legs, because it had wounds from walking on its ankles, it also had a bone popping out.
Hopefully it will be ok, it can’t chase its friends with the legs tied, but I guess it’s better then just tearing all the skin…

I decided to kill it. I can’t take care of it
