Balled up foot

[erose15658]

Our chicken is approximately 16 weeks old and we had her for a little less than two weeks. Suddenly one foot is balled up and we have read that it’s a vitamin B deficiency. We started immediately with. Briggs Apple cider vinegar and after 2 days no change we added 1 crushed up B complex vitamin To her food. How long will it take to see an improvement? Is there anything else we can do?

I wish I could help. I have a similar problem with my baby, he suddenly gained twisted toes on each foot.

We are new to this I hope both of our birds are ok! Hard to watch them suffer!

When yours is on the roost does she un-ball up her foot?

She stays on the ground! All day and night limps around a little

She probably can't walk good, poor baby. i know these issues are easy fixes for chicks but when they get older its harder
