Is she eating and drinking? Getting under the heat ok? Some energy to try to stand? Flop on back and can not flip over?

She is not eating or drinking although makes loud noise. Not really just in middle of brooder. just sitting and unable to stand, there is problem with her joints, i came to know a red spot (similar to some sort of injury) is on one of her joint (the joint joining the leg with thigh).

I have attached the pics

We had two turkey poults do the same thing. There was nothing we could do, I put them both down. They could not get to water or feed. I tried splints to help support and straigten thier legs but it did not seem to help.

Sorry,
Harold and Wendy

Looks like it might be a birth defect.. so sorry

I have a chick that's foot looks like that. But it gets around fine and eats and drinks. We tried splints, the thing on the foot and vitamins. It plays with the others. So I am letting it be. Hope all works out. Good luck

Maybe giving it extra niacin may help?
