I did take some pictures, will have to get them downloaded onto the computer. Henny Penny really wasn't eating at first either, I was feeding her Sav-a-Chick electrolyte stuff from a dropper a few times a day. After she figured out it was good stuff, she started pecking at it like a poultry nipple and actually taught the other chicks to do it too... so when I go to the brooder with the dropper they all come running, so funny. The first thing I actually saw her 'eat' was an ant when we were outside practicing standing on the sidewalk. It took a good 2 days before she was able to get around well enough to get interested in eating the chick food.
She had a REALLY hard time walking with the chick shoes at first, I questioned whether I made a mistake at first since she'd just flop over. But after about a day she got better at standing up (still couldn't right herself if she stumbled though). So it's just the one foot that is curled, but the other one looks injured/painful? I'd definitely try again this weekend when you can be there to work with your chick. You want to be able to help her get the hang of it before you leave her for long, and probably best to isolate her (or maybe bring a friend with), but it will probably be too much for her to figure out with the other chicks and mama and fluffy bedding. I'd probably start with a shoe on the curled foot and just watch what she does with that other leg before you pull it in with a brace/hobble. Once she's able to stand on the curled foot, it will take some of the pressure off of the injured foot and then add a hobble/brace if she still seems to be holding it out.
After I put the shoes on, she really wouldn't stand at all so I held her upright for a bit so she could see what proper standing felt like. I tried to do the cup thing to prop her up but she just wanted out of it, so I just stood her up as long as I could then let her go and encouraged her to stand up properly as much as possible (wasn't that hard bc she'd fall over all the time, so I had to pick her back up from her side and I'd put her back upright). She'd sit back after a while and I'd let her rest, but I came by a lot to encourage her to stand up tall and strengthen her leg muscles. It really didn't take long for her to build up enough strength to stand upright on her own and the more she did it, it seemed the more she wanted to. I also took her out of the brooder several times to practice on a hard floor (wood floor on a paper towel or outside on the sidewalk - hard, flat, but textured/not slippery). That seemed to really help her too. I also started putting paper towels over the pine shavings in the brooder to make a more level surface/easier to walk on.
It was a two person job to get the 'shoes' on. DH held the chick and I did the shoes. Once you get the shoes figured out, you might want to do the 'hobbles' leg brace thing too if she's still holding that other leg out - the poultry podiatry page says it's a mental thing, so fixing the feet may not fix the leg/help her to stand properly since she's getting into the mental habit of putting her leg out wrong. That was easier to put on and I did it by myself - just trimmed a bandaid down so it was narrow and wrapped the sticky ends around each ankle, trying to avoid any feathers.
I'll try to get some pictures up this afternoon
