Read my article at UPA website
www.peafowl.org/ARTICLES/1/
The clicking that you hear when the chick breaths
could be from the "air sac"....there is a system
inside birds that supplies air to hollow bones to
make them light enough to be able to fly.
There are some breeds of chicken that have three toes
in front and two in back but sometimes these breeds
will have some extra ones.
I think your chick has straddle legs which should be
treated with a hobble brace. If toes are not straight
they need chick shoes.
Also if you can take a a couple photos of your chick
and email them to me I will have a better chance of
diagnosing and suggesting treatments for its problems.
