Fine all day yesterday, brought them outside to play for a bit and following that she laid around alot and is walking around very unsteady, almost penguin-like. I felt her legs hips and feet, nothing feels off.

Please help me!!! Shes the sweetest little babe!!
 
Pictures of the chick standing from the front and back, or a short video uploaded to YouTube with a link here may help. Make sure that we can see the leg position clearly. Slipped tendon or a leg bone deformity might be possible. Make sure that you are giving some vitamin B complex 1/4 tablet crushed into a little water and given orally with a dropper or on food. Chick or liquid baby vitamins are fine if they contain riboflavin.
 

Here's the video, I guess shes doing better.


As you can see, shes not quite as active as the other two, and she would normally be the most active.

I'm debating starting cocci treatment since I had her outside a few times already.

She eats, drinks and poops normally from what I can tell, just a little slower and lazier than the others all of a sudden.

What are your thoughts?
