noticed my 4 week old orpington walking on hocks. When she walks on her feet she looks drunk. Hasn't been out of brooder. Other 4 chickens seem fine.
 
I would get some vitamins that contain riboflavin (B2) to put in her water, or give her 1/4 tablet daily of super B complex vitamins crushed and dissolved in a little water. Walking on hocks, especially if toes are curled under is a sign of riboflavin deficiency. Also, get the chick drinking water in case of dehydration. Is it eating okay? What do you feed?
