You can try vitamin therapy but that doesnt sound at all like what my Baby was going through. She ate well, had plenty of energy and alertness, great spirit and normal poo except for a short bought of runniness early one. She just couldnt seem to feel or use her legs or wings. That went on...

Yep, it seems many are quick to assume Merek's when any leg or wind paralysis occurs in a chicken. I knew my flock was closed and no other chickens were showing any symptoms so I did not want to assume Merek's. Im glad I did not. Good for you for not giving up on your chick either. Lets...

Quote: Yes it is a relief. Im so glad the vit b treatment seemed to have cured what ailed her. She is doing really well and is currently sitting, once again, in the tree she fell from the day I noticed a problem with her leg. Im so thankful for these chicken forums. I dont know what I...

I used a high potency multi B vitamin crushed up to treat Baby. Now I have the nutritional yeast which I bought in bulk from a health food store in the SF bay area, William's is the name. Some folks are more familiar with Marmite or Vegemite products but it is the same thing. The dry...

I wanted to give an update on Baby, my paralyzed chick. She is doing really well. I learned that it just might be a vitamin B deficiency causing her paralysis and so it has been 5 days into intensive vit B administration. She is walking normal, flapping her wings normally, and doing her...

Thank you so much for your reply and bump. I was contacted via private email by Sarah (littlecluckers) that my baby most likely has Mareks. Im taking the best of care of him and right now he/she is in a protected area of the yard with its buddy. Even though it cannot walk or get around on its...

This came on all of a sudden. Im not sure but it may have fallen from a tree, maybe due to not have full control over feet and legs. It has been four days now and Im not seeing any improvement. It eats well, is alert and tries to play with its friend. They tumble and lay in the shade...
