This young chick was in a cage with about 7 of her siblings and they would all step on her and each other. since then, she started walking weird. kind of tall. this is how she is all day every day. she doesn’t walk normal. she eats normally and drinks normally, she pretty much acts like a normal chicken. did her siblings hurt her back or break it? or is this something else? maybe a medical condition? she’s been like this for about a month now. I gave her time thinking she’d recover on her own but she’s been growing and there’s no signs of her getting better. i’m not sure if she’s in pain.
like I said, she eats and drinks normally. she also loves flying a bit.
wether it’s a medical condition or she got hurt, does anyone know what I can do? can I maybe do some exercises with her or physical therapy?

I'd be giving her some B-complex or give her some Nutra-Drench or Poultry Cell vitamin water every other day for a few weeks. It might be too late to fix it but it's worth a try. If she was in pain, she wouldn't try flying and flitting around, she'd remain more still, so I don't think she's hurting too much if at all.

Thank you.
