2 week old chick hurt leg help

[Jen Rogers]

We hatched this chick 2 weeks ago. She had curled toes and splayed legs. We thought we had the leg problem solved and four days ago we saw her walking in circles. We had her with the other chicks but have now separated her so she won't get trampled. It looks like her hip is sticking out. We're not sure, we're new to chickens these are our first ones. Any help??

Hello! Can you have someone hold the wee babe and take some more pictures of the bum leg from underneath? Move the wing out of the way. Also, can you get a video of it walking and upload to YouTube and link here? It will be helpful for the experts.

Here are some things you can do to try to diagnose and possibly fix the problem. https://www.chickenheavenonearth.co...u-can-do-to-help-chicken-heaven-on-earth.html It's really up to you to discover what's causing this as you are with the chick and we are not.

This could also be a vitamin deficiency. Try giving the chick small doses of B-complex for several days. I have a hunch this is most likely the problem. The B-complex may cure the weakness in the leg.

Did you see the reply from from azygous? You can get b complex at any pharmacy or Wal Mart and target. Also, make sure the chick is eating well, full crop at night. It may be a good idea to take a different healthy chick from it's mama every day and keep it with the little chick.

Yes, I saw their reply. I'm going to get some B Complex today, thank you for letting me know where to find it. How much would you give her? A little dropper or less? That is a great idea with the other chicks. They are twice the size of her. She is right beside them.
