What's wrong with my Chick 2? (reposted from Raising Baby Chicks)

Scrappy is now isolated on cardboard and paper towels. Many hatcheries raise their chicks on wire so I'm not concerned about the others. This is our fourth group and we haven't had any issues except for this one. I just gave her the Poly Vi Sol vitamins and now i have to leave for work. I'll keep you all updated. I did see the curled toes issued and told my husband to look into splinting them. While I don't think they are the MAIN issue, I think they could become an issue down the line if she isn't walking on her feet. She sits on her elbows and uses her wings for balance when walking. It looks like she's on crutches. Fingers crossed!!!! Thanks again for ALL the suggestions.
 
Scrappy died early this morning. We are very sad but have 32 other babies and 20 other chickens to keep us busy. Thanks again for all of your help! I'm glad I found you!
