1 day old chick cant balance, doesnt eat and has other problems

Also whenever she move or takes steps she chirps/cries. Maybe she also is in pain around her leg/foot area?

When she chirps she also sometimes chirps like a machine gun really quickly and im not sure why.

For the B vitamins, vitamins are vitamins, it doesn't matter if you get something made for humans or for animals, they are the same thing. I use human ones all the time for my birds, they are just easier to find. The B's are very safe, extra will be excreted, so no worries about too much. If you can get a video of the chick and how it moves, the peeping, etc. and post it to youtube or other external host and put the link here, it may help to see it. We'll be better able to judge if behavior looks normal or not.

Here are some of the videos i saved from yesterday and a few minutes ago, its pretty much this behavior and a lot of chirping like shes in pain, also tried taking the brace off for the splayed leg but no difference. Doesnt eat or drink. I've given her b complex and thats her after in the chirping 2 video.

Whenever i take her heating pad away for a few seconds and see her walk, she walks like shes stretching out her bodly, kind of like how an emu looks. Also heres what her latest poop looks like, Anything of concern?

I can't see much in the video's, the chirping sounds like she's lonely to me, and looking for others. So stressed. The first few days poops can vary, there isn't blood or mucous, so that's good. I would work on finding it some company, that may make the biggest difference.

Thanks for the reply coach!!! The only chicks i can purchase in my area are around 5 weeks old, thats too old for her right?

Also, is it normal for her to not peck? I havent seen her peck at anything, only just near her feet maybe twice? I think she was pecking her toes.

I would try to find chicks that are closer to her age, within a week. They grow fast, so 5 week olds will be substantially larger. Have you given it a mirror? That makes a big difference sometimes.
