I would keep up with the vitamins if I where you. I had a chick that had a very bad start and couldn't walk, feet was curled up and all. I did the vitamins and made sure she was hydrated and she did a complete turn about. After a few days she quit eating and slept all the time. I started feeding her a liquidy mash of water, vitamins, starter and a tad bit of sugar. After a few days she was eaating on her own again. Now I give her a little boost every couple of days of vitamins. She is still eating on her own and not sleeping as much. I feel that if I had started her right away on the vitamins she would have done better.
