Chicken having trouble walking

[AlexsonVick]

My chick that's a few weeks old seems to have trouble walking and stumbles a little. I'm worried and in search of what's wrong with her.

Try using some B complex vitamins 1/4 tablet daily crushed into some cooked egg or wet chick feed. Are you feeding a chick starter grower ration? When you look at her standing from the front, is she standing with both legs together or is one leg out to the side or back at all? Does she sit on her hocks much, like in the second pic, or curl her toes under at any time?

I think human vitamins will do. I imagine drugstores or Walmart would have them. I usually order mine.

Yes, just get human B complex—inexpensive and easy to use. They are easily grated with a microplane cheese grater, crushed with 2 spoons together, or dissolved in water. They are hard to overdose since any excess goes out in the kidney waste.

Most chick vitamins except NutriDrench has riboflavin or B2 as well, which is important in leg problems.
