Help! Curled feet

[RosieR]

hey friends, it’s my first hatch and one of the chicks has both feet curled. It’s been in the brooder about 24h now, seems to be getting along ok, just won’t straiten his feet out. He didn’t look very lively the first day so I left him be, but he survived the night ok and is eating and drinking.
Any pointers? Can I do something to help it?

You can also increase riboflavin (B2).

Where do I get this? The feed store? or just a regular supplement from the drug store or something?

It's in food. Organ meats, eggs, some nuts. If you give food other than chick feed it will need grit too
