Twisted toes on an older chick

Thank you, ChickensAreSweet!

That is hopeful. Do you know where I can look for riboflavin in that dosage? There is riboflavin in the vitamin and electrolyte pak that I am adding to their water but there is no way to gauge how much of that she is taking in. That is all the farm supply store had to offer.
I really appreciate your help and thank you for the links!
 
Update on Bert. She is actually a he. His toes did not ever straighten out, even after over a month of wearing boots. I followed all advice to try to fix his toes, to no avail. It was probably genetic. He gets around fine. He will be a yard pet once spring rolls around, although it feels like spring with 60 degree days in January!

I have had a rooster with crooked toes before too, and he just had to walk a little more carefully than everyone else. He was able to get around fine.

I am glad that Bert is doing ok despite his toe issues.

I was worried that he would get picked on because he is different, but he holds his own. My husband thought Bert would be better off in the freezer. That didn't go over well with me and the kids after having him as a lap chicken for over a month.
