Chick showing paralysis in legs

[downekc09]

Hello, what does this look like to you? I started giving electrolyte/vitamin water two days ago. Not really improving Going to get Kickin' chicken stuff from Tractor Supply tonight. Hatched with 11 other chicks, but I have total 19 chicks together. All are healthy, no runny noses, no sneezing, no signs of illness. Eating medicated chick food. Eats and drinks on its own just fine, no problems there. Please let me know what you think. Legs are bandaged to keep from splitting (right leg up front, left leg goes back). Can it be slipped tendons? TIA!

How old is the chick? I would try giving some vitamins, B complex or super B complex once a day. Human ones from any pharmacy, for that size probably 1/4 to 1/2 a tablet or capsule. Riboflavin deficiency can cause hock sitting and curled toes, thiamine deficiency can cause odd neuromuscular symptoms (medicated feed contains amprolium which can cause thiamine deficiency in some birds that are already low). Sometimes those deficiencies can be passed from parent stock. The B's are very safe, extra will be excreted. Hopefully that will bring some improvement. Make sure the chick is getting adequate access to feed, maybe add a feeder or two.
