4 week old chick developed lameness in both legs

[Cry86]

Okay so she's been separated for 4 days now. She was a very playful chick her names Onyx.

She was on medicated chick starter since then I have removed them off it.

I have been giving her duvet vitamins and electrolytes. An egg scrambled daily, yogurt twice now and parsley twice now.

The legs move but the feet are curling up she tries to stand but face plants. I'm curious if there's more I can do to get her walking again, and standing. Shes very vocal. Very loving. Eating ok and drinking fine.

I feel no injuries. But she gets very mad she can't stand and tries with every fiber in her being. Also I work her legs several times a day. Or just hold her and she bicycles them herself but 1 leg she draws up the other she keeps wanting to stretch out all the way. Today not so bad. When I put her down I make sure both feet are correctly under her. Any advice helps.

What are you feeding now?

I'd keep her on chick starter. Get some B-Complex vitamins and give 1/4 tablet daily.

Egg is fine to give as a treat.

Unmedicated chick starter and chick reserve

Egg is fine to give, but I'd get the vitamins too.

Watch to see if this chick is eating all of the feed and not just picking out things it likes.
Looks like the chick reserve is whole feed so he/she may be picking out things like just corn, oats, or something like that instead of eating it all. The biggest problem with loose whole feed like that is they don't always eat everything, so their nutrition is not always complete.

You are providing grit (crushed granite) free choice too right?

Onyx crossed the rainbow Bridge. Thank you all not from the vitamin b complex but I think she also had brooder pneumonia. I didn't catch in time. =(
