Chick with weak legs

Splay legs are *usually* apparent at hatch.. not 3 weeks out.

I've not heard of anyone hobbling a 3 week old chick and seeing improvement, before you.

My *guess* would be the vitamins are working. Your feed routine didn't sound extremely off to really cause a deficiency.. BUT some individuals for whatever genetic reason may require more support than the standard chick.

It's also possible you may be looking at a valgus or varus type or other congenital/hatching deformity.. maybe hold the chick in a manner we can better see what you're describing.

Glad you are seeing some improvement!
Thank you! I'm also getting help from a Facebook group and sent video to the administrator. She recommended the Poultry Cell and then the hobble brace. Yes it's helping! She also recommended the Poultry Cell. I'll attach video of before the hobble brace and you can see her walking and then sitting. I'll also attach video of a day later with the brace. I'd love your input!
