3 week old chick won’t walk

[Hen-She]

All my chicks have not had any issues. Then tonight, one girl only sits, kinda walks to the feeder without lifting her body. Stays by herself. Lies upright, and lets her left wing fall outward. What do you think? What should I check?

Perhaps vitamin deficiency?

I have a package of electrolytes and vitamin supplements to mix in water. Is this what you’re referring to?

You may beed a stronger dose than that, you can use 400 i.u vitamin E capsule and about a third of a B complex tablet every day for a few weeks.

She seems somewhat better this mornin. Still not putting full weight on her leg (left).
Keeping an on on her and will get vitamins going. Thanks for your insight!
