    4-week old chick walks funny, hunches up, has strange chirp--deficiency, disease, or...???

    I got ahold of some Polyvisol and gave her three drops last night, and a couple this morning (much to her chagrin).

    Would I just dissolve one human vit-B complex tablet into one gallon of water? I have been giving molasses in their feed but she doesn't eat very much, so I'm hoping to give her vitamins directly. Any thoughts on the children's liquid multi? Thanks for the link to the Avian Super-Pak. I have...

    Her vent is clean, nothing stuck to her rear end either. I forgot to mention that in the last few days it looks like the toes on one of her feet are going at odd angles. There seems to be less strength in her feet than the other two "normal" chicks. Now I wonder if she had a slipped tendon...

    4-week old chick walks funny, hunches up, has strange chirp--deficiency, disease, or...???

    Hi everyone, After reading all I can I am more confused than ever about what might be happening to our approximately one-month old Australorp chick. About a week or so after we brought her home (along with two other chicks, both seemingly normal at this point), I thought I noticed her walking...
