I came across some information on this condition completely by accident. It's called curled toe paralysis, and it's caused by a deficiency of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in growing chicks. If it's treated when it first appears it can be cured, but if it's not treated right away there is permanent damage to the sciatic nerve, and giving vitamin B2 will not help at this point.
