Splash maran not able to walk right.

[Ada06]

I have 9 chicks one of them is walking a little strange and seems like her leg/ legs hurt. Idk what the problem is. She lays down and when she does walk kind of waddles. What could be the problem?

She is just laying around while the rest play and run around

Also they are around 2 weeks

Is she developing curled toes? Her feet curl as soon as I pick her up

That's a natural response to being picked up.

I would untape them. There's nothing wrong with her actual feet, and she could hurt her leg worse.

It looks like a vitamin deficiency possibly. It could be deficient from its parents, since it's so young.
I would provide some "poultry cell" vitamins, sav-a-chick electrolytes, or nutridrench.
A vitamin D3 deficiency causes similar symptoms.

Alright thank you! Should the rest of the chicks get some just in case?
