There’s no spraddle leg, she’s vitamin deficiency, I have her on selenium & vitamin E, Nutri Drench, in their waterer has vitamins, probiotics, clear Karo syrup, she’s a little better today, how long does this last? I heard 2 weeks, is that true?

I would get some human B complex tablet or capsules and give those in addition to the E and selenium. Nutridrench doesn't have riboflavin or thiamine, which can also cause leg and balance issues if deficient, and nutridrench can cause diarrhea if given for more than 2 or 3 days. I'd give the chick 1/4 to 1/2 a tablet or capsule of that daily. How long improvement takes is hard to say, some bounce back quickly, some take longer. The B's are water soluble so any extra will be excreted by the chick. You can crush the tablet or empty the capsule and mix with some moistened feed.
