So I’ve been waiting to post untill the results were going in a positive direction but about ten days ago one of my hens who is around 17 weeks old starting to get curled toe paralysis very bad and was becoming unable to walk. This is often caused by a riboflavin deficiency that starts off in the mother and and is passed on to her hatchlings. There born deficient so they grow slower and get out competed for food making the deficiency worse and then this shows up, normally in there first two weeks so I wasent sure this would work. I decided to splint the foot in a way that would hold it open with the toenails sticking out , put her on riboflavin boosters and left it for on 8 days. She is now she is walking with a open foot again 
The riboflavin effects the nerve endings that control the foot and they can quickly atrophy and become permanently stuck closed , I got nerve problems I wonder would riboflavin help
