So, Hi i'm new to Backyard Chickens and I have 4 cornish cross chickens that were fine until this afternoon one of them decided to lean on its hocks, i did some research and i believe its the b2 deficiency problems so I went to the store with father and couldn't find anything we eventually settle on a pack it of vitamin and i think probiotic to add to the water. Before then, I gave it some electrolyte and egg yolk.

This is it in the chick chair i made. One of the pictures has the other 3, for 4-h we only need to so what should i do, the chicken will be in its little chair for the night.

You can use human B-Complex which can be found at stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1/4 tablet daily.

I'd check her several times throughout the night with her being in a chick chair and under a lamp. Make sure she's not overheating, and she'll be needing fluids/water too. Probably hungry. She can't reach food/water on her own while in the chair.

She can get out really easily and she hobbled to the water earlier when I was with her.
