Hello everyone! For the last few days I have noticed strange behaviour in one of the 9 chicks. He was very active, jumping, running, walking more than all the others. But ever since they were moved to a special little house for them outside, I saw him sadder than usual. Last week he had ruffled feathers, droopy eyes, kept sitting up and moving around walking on his "knees". I took him into the house and gave him vitamins, garlic and other remedies someone on the internet recommended, but to no avail. He still can't walk more than a few steps. I should mention that he eats a lot, drinks water and is happy now when he is in our presence, but when we take him out, he resumes that listlessness. I've read somewhere he can lack minerals bc of his breed but idk what to say. What can I do? Please, I am waiting for an answer.
 
What kind of vitamins did you give him? Riboflavin or B2 is needed to treat for walking on the hocks or curled under toes, which can be signs of a riboflavin deficiency. Sometimes it can be a sign of Mareks disease. What do his poops look like? Could coccidiosis be a problem? What are you feeding him? Garlic should be very limited or not given at all.

Thank you for your answer!
It's a veterinary supplement bought from a specialist shop from my country. It contains Vitamin A 5,000,000 IU, Vitamin D3 50,000 IU, Vitamin E 1,250 mg, Vitamin K 200 mg, Vitamin B1 300 mg, Vitamin B2 625 mg, Vitamin B6 300 mg, Vitamin B12 3,000 µg, Folic acid 19 mg, Nicotinamide 3,000 mg, Viamine C 1250 mg, Calcium pantothenate 750 mg. I feed them 2 times with garlic and it was a tiny chopped slice since I was afraid it may be toxic to me. His poops are normal. Solide and white, green from grass, somtimes watery when the temperature is higher than 24 degrees. I checked it from parasites or any sign of blood but sometimes, especially in the night she is shedding diarrheea dropping.
