Baby Light Brahma Tail Down Walking On Hocks - Urgent Help Required

[huzaifa415]

Hey Yardians, hope all are having a wonderful day, I have a quick concern regarding one of my month old light brahma chick. Its been 6 days now since he is unable to stand properly on his own, with a little support my young lad is able to stand and walk but whenever he sits back in his coop its almost impossible for him to get back up, so he walks on his hocks with tail down. Can anyone help me in this regards?

P.S: No signs of Marek's, no signs of leg injuries and mites etc.

I am sorry to hear that, I’m not an expert but I know some pictures could help possible diagnosis.

PIctures would be helpful. In the meantime I would give 1/2 of a B complex tablet or capsule (human ones, regular not time release), grind up and mix in a bit of moistened feed. Riboflavin deficiency is sometimes a cause of hock sitting, and Thiamine deficiencies can cause some neuromuscular symptoms. The B's are very safe, no worries of it doing any harm even if it's something else.
