We're on a well, so there's some mineral in the water. I haven't heard about putting minerals in the water. We're feeding Purina Medicated Chick Starter, and I have started them on Sav-A-Chick Electrolyte and probiotic. So far, she's the only injured one, and it seems to come and go. She has been self-isolating from the rest of the flock (We think because they run her over/jump on her occasionally) and just sits. She can put weight on it, but doesn't unless we make her get up to walk. Her crop has been soft, as far as I can tell. (Marble sized lump in the breast area? All have it)
We haven't felt her beak, but will try to tonight. We got her a liquid multivitamin, but it doesn't have D or E, which it seems are the ones needed form what we've read. My wife also started giving them cooked yolk yesterday and they devoured it.
