3week old Brahma with leg injury

[Speechleslie]

One of my chicks is not using her her right leg. She is eating, drinking, pooping and sleeping. She seems to hold her own with the other 4 chicks.

There’s no wound, she can use the wing on that side. There’s no feeling of hotness anywhere. She doesn’t seem to hurt when I feel down her whole leg to foot - but she isn’t using her he leg as far as I can see.

I don’t know how to attach a video - not tech savvy

Pictures of the legs at floor level while she is held on a table top to see what her legs look like may help determine if there is a leg bone deformity such as varus or valgus. Is there any swelling or redness in the hock of the bad leg? Is she curling the toes under? Have you tried some human super B complex tablets, 1/4 tablet daily crushed into a spoonful of water or in food? How long has this been going on?

I will get B complex today. It started Saturday. I don’t see swelling, redness or deformity. The toes are curled.

Thanks to everyone. She is sweetest chick, bought after I lost a wonderful year old Brahma hen who prolapsed.
