Spraddle leg? Slipped tendon? Help!

[GermanKennhuhn]

We had a lousy hatch, and although 4 hatched fine(although they had unhealed navels) the other two have some problems. Both needed assistance hatching, both had curled toes, both had unhealed navels, one appears to have straddle leg, the other walks on its legs rather than feet. I made tape shoes for the curled toes, and am providing vitamins:
What else can I do to help these chicks?

2.

I think the sores on it’s hocks is from walking on them in the incubator. Also, this chick is about the size of a bantam chick, despite both the parents being standard size. Should I make hobbles for them? A splint? A sling?Also, the temps in the incubator ran low for a few days.Please help!

The right leg on the one chick looks almost dislocated, but it also could be a slipped tendon or leg bone deformity. The curled under toes and walking on hocks is probably vitamin B2 riboflavin deficiency. Here is a link about slipped tendons:

I just tried that and it went well, but afterwards her leg still splays out to the side.
