8 Week Old Pullet is Walking with Overlapping Feet & Poor Balence

[cheekiechickie]

I adopted a 7week old sapphire gem, in hopes that her feet could be corrected. I been using Niacin to supplement her, but I don't see much progress. I know it might be too early to really see any progress, but I am hoping to hear any feed back from those who have experienced this.
She doesn't walk much, as when she does walk she steps right onto her other foot, and she uses one of her wings, drops it to the ground, and uses that to help balance her when she standing. I've also noticed that she keeps her head and chest lower to the ground, with her back end higher, when she is standing. When she attempts to walk, her back posture looks normal, its just when she stops and stands there.
As for this first week, today she didn't mind walking around to get treats. It was definitely more activity I have seen from her, but from any other young one, not much. Otherwise she eats and drinks plenty, and sure likes to talk to me.

HELP!

It could be wobble foot try a brace half inch straw with hair tie. It may help to strengthen the legs and keep in proper form. Separate so she doesn't get trampled. Should hopefully start walking normally with 3. To 7 days. Hope this helps

I would be using a poultry multivitamin. In chicks B complex or a poultry vitamin for the water is good, since riboflavin is pretty important in leg health. Thiamine and vitamin E are also good. Pictures or a video might help. Leg bone deformities could be a possibility. What are you feeding?

I like the idea of the brace,but I worry she is too old and it could do more damage if not done right. Here are two images showing the overlapping feet and the odd posture.
