Is there an opposite of splayed leg?

One of my chicks, which are hatching a day ahead of schedule, has feet that turn inward. I don't have a working camera but he walks, poorly, on the outer sides of his feet. He just attempted suicide in the water bowl. I have separated him from the rest, and the water for now. Can anyone tell me what this is, how I can prevent it in the future, and whether this little guy has a chance? Thanks

Thank you. I've been reading up and it looks like chick toe paralysis caused by a riboflavin deficiency. It also could be too low humidity but they can't seem to walk well, which is more associated with the riboflavin deficiency and causes death in about 3 weeks. I'm writing this in hopes that others benefit. I'm grateful for your recommendation and will google chickie bootie next.
