I bought a chick now it has Curly toe - help

[Purelychicks]

It eats and drinks fine, but the toes curl inwards and are sort of shriveled up like prunes , it can sort of walk but not easily. What do I do? The rest of the chicks are fine. It freaks out when I take it away from its siblings

Not too sure you can do anything it's too old for a brace. You'll likely just have to wait for the toe to break and set. I had a hen with a foot issue that resulted in crooked toes when she got too heavy for the bad foot to continue the way it had been

It’s only 3 days old?

You can try a brace then, but most of the time those need to be put on right away when they dry off

I would start some human super b complex vitamins or use a chick vitamin that has riboflavin (b2) listed on the label. Make it some shoes by taping the toes on top and bottom in a normal position. Leave for a few days. Look at the pictures her on how to tape toes:

I tried my best for tape, but it’s certainly hard on an extremely tiny squirmy bantam baby. I have some ribloflavin b mix specifically for chickens, would that work?

As long as it has riboflavin in it, it should be good, but I like b complex. It may be easier to tape the bottom toes first. There are videos and links about taping toes or making shoes online. Here is a video:
