Suggestions on rehab of extreme curled toes/ splayed legs 6-8 week old chick

[Phillyndilly]

Hello all so I went to someone’s house to see piglets and in the next paddock were about 60-80 meat/ barnyard mixed chicks. I immediately noticed one flapping about on the floor grabbed it and was like this one can’t walk! The guy must’ve heard the panic and was like well u can just have it if you want.
She looks to be around 6-8 weeks, fully feathered but her whole back is bare. Legs completely splayed out, unable to stand at all, toes completed curled in. One foot is curled and twisted I’m sure from trying to hobble on her ankle. But girlfriend lasted all that time with 80 other chicks picking on her (granted they were all looking rough) and was able to eat and survive. She was given zero help I am sure of and I think she deserves a chance. I know I might have to cull her but as I said I think she deserves a chance or at least to be humanely put down. She eats very very well and drinks well which isn’t surprising since she made it this long.
I rehab waterfowl but have never had a lame chicken. Right now treatment is at follows:
Nutritional yeast for the vitamin B2
Nutridrench vitamins
20% crumble
Feet taped flat
Brace to hold legs closer together

My main question is about her rehab I made a sling out of a sock to hang from a cage. I put her in while I am watching her but I’m not sure what height it should be?
Should I be trying to hang it higher so her toes just touch the floor and stretch out the leg? Or should I be starting lower and then pulling it up?
I try to push her feet flat and hold her chest up to mimic an appropriate standing position. I also massage her legs a bit.
Anyone experienced with this I would love input!!!
Also would like input on the nutrition I know curled toes is usually riboflavin.
I’m also not fully sure of her mix . I know she is half frizzle but a lot of the chickens were meat (royal) but they also had some regular layers running around. She said a friend gave her 3 frizzle Roos and a lot of their babies have had problems. I have an area with special needs/ sensitive birds and I have a Muscovy drake I took in with a completely curled in foot who lives his best life and is completely happy.
Sling photo 1-2 is of her in a lower position, 3 hanging is higher up.
The photos are of her resting position as well as when she kind of props herself up on her hocks flapping her wings for balance.
I will try to include videos eventually as well.

His sling needs to be low enough where the feet can touch the floor.

When you take off the tape and splints, get photos of the toes, legs, feet, joints, etc.

Sometimes chicks have leg and toe deformities which cannot be corrected.

Some things you may be able to correct when they are just a few days old, but after they get older, it can be difficult and painful to try to correct.

Give him 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily and chick starter.

Thank you yes my initial thought was he but I’ve been saying her now. I’ll send photos when I change the wrap. Exactly I have no way of knowing if it was a deformity or what and I know especially with splay it can be very difficult especially since I’m sure this was since birth. Nothing looks especially swollen or painful. None of the upper joints seem swollen either but the growth pattern is definitely off. I’m hoping it’s not too late since there is more growing to do. Would you say the age is correct. I never pay attention to ages but I got a batch of chicks that seem to be similar in age.

Her toes stayed for a bit when I took the wrap off but when she put effort into anything they curled back up. Also wondering if a liquid b complex vs tablet matters at all

Poor little thing

No, liquid vs tablet shouldn't make that much difference.

Urgh ya. I don’t like to keep him in the sling without me there but with his feet tied they seem to just go straight out in front. No idea if this is even helping

Difficult for little frizzle to keep her legs under he or she just puts them straight out when the ankles are bound. I try to adjust position and put her legs folded under her the way they should be but when she moves they jut straight out again.
Spending longer periods of time in the sling now. Torn if I should prolong this but wow what an appetite!

Even though no one is replying I’m going to keep updating lol.
So I made a mistake last night and left her in her sling but that wasn’t really the issue. She tends to kick her legs out in front especially with the brace and since the temperature dropped a little lower and she or he can’t keep her legs warm they were very icy cold. I warmed her for a the day and brought her inside. Adjusted the feet wraps and then we sat outside later on. I’m going to make a small box for sleeping to ensure her feet do not get too cold.
It’s only been a few days but no improvements.
I’m torn between trying and giving up. She still seems to be in no pain, eats well and trills when satisfied. Idk…one of my goslings seems to like her always sits down next to her but it’s just no life to have if she can never walk and I’m not sure what an appropriate time line for healing would be

I would love more updates!!! I’ve been trying to save a lame 3 month old for 2 weeks. HUGE will to live but legs don’t work

Yes, these kind of cases are so hard, it's good knowing someone else has gone through it before, and gets it. My splay chick was still just a little baby so it's almost no comparison what you are fighting to help your chickie with, though, but I feel for you. I hope it's going well.
