Newly hatched chick curled toes cannot stand

[stormgirl82]

I’ve never had a chick hatch that couldn’t walk. This little one is almost 24 hours old and can’t stand or walk properly. I’m attaching a couple photos and a video to show you what I mean. I tried to put little cardboard sandles on it but I’m not sure I’ve done it correctly. Any advice would be great.

Well my video isn’t working.

It looks like a vitamin or b-2 deficiency I will copy and paste the article I wrote about the vitamin deficiency but for the b-2 deficiency dissolve b-2 tablets in water

Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin deficiency is The most common. Symptoms can include: lethargic, not walking, not using legs at all, crawling. To treat a vitamin deficiency make a chicken smoothie blend up cucumbers, gatorade, and any other vitamin rich vegetables or fruits give as much as you can to them every day until it’s gone and you don’t need the whole bottle of Gatorade just like a quarter of a bottle of Gatorade or however much you want. Then you can buy vitamins to put in their water for chicks and chickens or if you want to put it in their food what I used when I had a chick with a vitamin deficiency was poultry booster that you can buy from tractor supply or amazon two months or older use the Full dose younger use half a dose. Until they start walking when they start walking just monitor them and you can keep giving them vitamins if you want but after they start walking they are pretty much good to go.

I’ll give that a try! I’m not certain that’s it though. It’s perfectly alert and active, waddling all over like a penguin poor thing. Could it be that even though it’s so active?

Then it is probably a B2 deficiency

I read somewhere it's a nutritional deficiency but could be heal in her early chick days as she progress towards growing . These Bandaging will help u can add very tiny amount of Multi-vitamins in her food or give eggs white portion that contains riboflavin
Curly toes is Specifically riboflavin deficiency
