Not sure about the wing.  Any chance of posting a photo and I'll see if I can find any old threads on wing problems.

I have noticed that the leg looks deformed and it has fur all the way down to the bottom of its foot  :( non of the others have it, could it be because of the temperature during incubation ?

the fur down the leg could be feathers what breed are the chicks supposed to be? There are several feather legged breeds  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
