1yr old Marans roo with "curled toe paralysis"????

this was all I could find with curled toes. I hope everything is going ok?

CURLED TOE PARALYSIS
 Due to deficiency in riboflavin
 Clinical signs: Chicks may actually die before signs appear. Poor growth, diarrhea, and weakness. Rest and walk on hocks due to inability to extend the hocks and progressive inward curling of the toes. Mortality is high by the 3rd week.
 Necropsy: Peripheral nerves (especially sciatic nerves) are swollen. Histo – hypertrophy of Schwann cells, demyelination.
 If short-term disease, can recover with riboflavin supplementation
 
Thanks! I'm not positive if this is even the problem, so I'm supplementing everything across the board. I hate to do that since, if it works, I still won't know what the problem was to prevent it again, but otherwise, I think he won't make it. I'm going to check to make sure he's gettiing enough riboflavin.

Does anyone have a list of the amounts of all nutrients that a rooster should be getting?
