Crooked toes came back

[EggSighted4Life]

He won't die right?

Everything dies unfortunately, even IF we do exactly correct everything.

He's definitely getting worse. Came home and now his legs aren't supporting his body weight...the best he can do is walking on his hocks

Could this be a symptom of Marek's or something similar and not actually correlated to his toe hatching deformity??

Hope you find answers!

I meant like because of the crooked toes or something

I've noticed some of his symtoms are similair to Marek's but I hope it's not that. Also where would they get Mareks from? I don't add adult birds or chicks now. Only ones I hatch

Get human vitamin B complex, one that contains riboflavin and other b vitamins. Give 1/2 tablet daily crushed into some scrambled egg or a treat.

And the only birds I was in contact with were with my cousins chickens (3 weeks ago) and wild ducks (13 feb)

Are his joints swollen?
Were you able to get any B vitamins as suggested on the first page?

Photo of the bottom of that foot?

I would keep him eating/drinking. If you can give him some scrambled egg along with normal feed that would be something good for him to eat.

He may benefit from being placed in a sling to get him more upright and take some of the weight off his joints, but I fear that his legs may never be able to fully support him.

X2 I was think in a sling. But doesnt take weight off his legs totally

I tried that. He was in it for around 2 hours and his could normally stand! so happy it works for him

I switched his feed to chick grower and put some barley grass supplement into it and a lot of a Nutri mix for chicks that I have. And it seems to work. I'm so happy
