8 week old hen with riboflavin deficiency, PLEASE HELP!!

This sounds promising!

I know... but i don't want to get ny hopes too high if you know what i mean

She still cant walk, but moves a bit more. She sometimes falls over, but gets back up again

Speedy attacked her again though, so we're keeping a close eye on her. Luckily she has a loud voice and i could hear her screaming. I dont want to keep her in a nest all day, because i feel like it makes her weaker. I'll only keep her inside if its raining or windy.
We put a laundry basket over her on the grass and she was happy - pecking around, protected from speedy
Speedy is doing well. We gave the rooster and the chicks away, because we cant keep them all. But it is someone we know and we can visit the chickens on any day.

Hi guys, the chick is doing well : ) she ate alot today, drank some vitamin water and the poops still look good.

I was just wondering.. her legs feel very stiff. She prefers not to bend them, even though she can bend them. Is this just because of the riboflavin deficiency, or something else?
I've realised that the knuckles where her leg bend are really prominent. Like white with a bump.She sometimes makes a noise when i bend her legs to put her down on tge ground, and when i let go of her leg, she pushes it forward again.I compared her to Speedy and they look more or less the same, except Speedy's is not so prominent. Maybe it's because Speedy is fullgrown? I'll put on some pictures tomorrow.

Her condition is still more or less the same. She's very happy and enjoying herself.

Today was a bit cold though, she slept in my arms for a while, but wanted to be outside. Tomorrow will be cold and rainy, so she's going to be inside.

Im wondering if this chick maybe has a slipped tendon? Ive realised that there is a blueish purpleish vein thing running along her hocks, but I'll send a pic tomorrow

I don't know what's causing that.

I don't know what's causing that.

Oh okay. My dad says that he thinks it is normal and that it is just how a chicken's leg looks like. Like i said, Speedy also has that white bump (that was near my thumb in the first pic) but it's not that prominent. So maybe it's normal. And the leg still bends, and the chick does not scream, so i think it's fine
Aaand i think the pushing of the leg forwards is normal? Just a symptom of riboflavin deficiency? Not sure

Good news, today the chick was outside, happy as always. But she lifted her behind! Unfortunately her legs did not lift her body up. She was sitting on her hocks, but the upper parts of her legs lifted up and picked her body up. I just wish those downer part of the legs and toes would work!
I also think i saw some twitching of the toes in one leg? And one leg has stopped shivering

This is the chick trying to stand

Hi guys, the chick is doing well. And she's pooping very well ! She keeps standing like pictured above. According to me, it's a huge improvement. I'm so proud of her.
But i think she's a bit thin. Do any of you guys know what i can feed my chicken to increase weight?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

I'm glad she is improving.
I would give her the grower feed that you have and add a little more protein - egg, fish or meat.
