Weak, small chick. Feet curled in and no feathers on back.

[Kikilu]

Hi all.
My svart hona chick hatched this afternoon and looks considerably smaller and weaker than the rest of my chicks. I am new to hatching.
The chick also does not have feathers on its back or neck. Would this be something breed specific or an issue with the chick?
Chick does not stand up on legs and feet are curled inward. Could this be slipped tendon or something else?
Attaching pictures for reference. Hoping there are some suggestions on what I can do to help or useful articles/forms for reference.

Thanks!

I would treat right away with chick or human vitamins that contain riboflavin (vitamin B 2.) It may improve with fluids and vitamins.

I should also mention the chick hatched on its own and was not assisted. Hatched on day 21.

Would I use a capsule form open and put in water or use a syringe?

B complex is handy and has riboflavin. You can dissolve 1/4 tablet in a spoonful of water and give a couple of drops with a dropper throughout the day. Or use Polyvisol without iron, Poultry NutriDrench and give 2-3 drops daily. You can make chick shoes to straighten toes as well if needed. Those are made with tape on top and bottom of feet with toes in normal position.

2x @Eggcessive
Curly Toe Paralysis - Riboflavin deficiency; Poly Visol without iron, Vitamin B Complex, Nutri Drench. Add foods rich in riboflavin; scrambled eggs, boiled egg yolk mixed with feed (make a mash). I had a chick like that ... Recommend once dried, separating as it will get trampled in the brooder with the rest.

Thanks all. Did a B complex throughout the day and found a chicken electrolyte with riboflavin at the local feed store.
Made chick boots with tape but she is still weak walking on hocks. Not eating really so will try egg tomorrow.

Will need to do a modified brooder set up with heat lamp so separate her. I am using a brinsea heat plate/brooder and tried it briefly for her but it burned her back since it’s bare of feathers.

Heating pad would work

I’ll try this. I feel like the heat lamp may be hard on her bare skin. I’m working out a divided set up with her side with the kitchen liner I used in the incubator for better traction.
