We now have some vitamin B complex, which I am going to start giving to the chicken each day.What are you feeding your chickens? A riboflavin or vitamin B2 deficiency is one cause of walking on hocks and curled under toes. Another cause is Mareks disease. Have you ever had a necropsy done on any birds that you have lost? Were any of them vaccinated for Mareks disease? I would make sure they are getting a balanced chicken layer or all flock feed. For now, I would give 1/4 to 1/2 tablet daily of human vitamin B complex, which is found at most drugstores or retail grocery’s.
