Subject: 2 week old chick now cannot walk

Hi I'm hoping someone can help. I've got 2 chicks in my brooder which were both doing great, then 3 days ago, the girl started to limp and fall over. Now she can't stand at all. She can't seem to bend her achilles heel to stand, so she just lays on one side. I've looked at her legs and they seem fine, her heels bend when I move them-its like she has lost strength in them. He toes were curled so put shoes on her and also have put a splint between but she still lying there-she tries every now and then to get up. Her poo is fine, she eats when I put food in front of her and drinks when I take her to water. The brooder is a good temp and I've given her vitamins-im out of ideas, I've no idea why this has happened and I'm worried she will die. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
