My 4 month old chicks can’t walk! They have weak legs and can’t even sit on them.
Our 2 old hens had this issue. I gave them vitamin B complex and zinc and fed them egg yolks and they were good to go the next day.
But these two are really sick. They get better after i give them the vitamins and then lay on their side again after an hour or so.
They still seem to have a bit of energy and its the 2nd day I’ve been giving them vitamins and they still have the same condition as I found them in. Not worse but not better either.
A few times i thought they were dead because of how they were laying but after touching them I heard chirps and they moved.
Please help @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock

Zinc should be stopped, it's vitamin e you want. 400i.u vitamin e and a third of a B complex tablet, every day.
It can take several weeks on vitamins for them to perk back up.
They look wet/greasy, are they?

They are wet because they spilled some water and the bedding is now damp and also since they cant move so they are sitting on/near their droppings.

I’ll start with the vitamin e and b complex right away.
Right now the red one looks like its barely even alive…

Ah, ok
I've never seem that before but it says you put it in their water, it's too strong to be giving any other way. Maybe 1 drop in some egg yolks to get them to eat.
Okay I’ll give it to them right away. I usually share the egg yolk in half and feed it to both of them.

What do you think about how much the dosage should be for this?
