Sometimes it's a nutrient deficiency. Niacin, vitamin E, thiamine in particular are vitamins I have read here that can be crucial in early development.

There are vitamin combinations such as Sav-A-Chik, and there are also poultry vitamins with electrolytes and probiotics that have been helpful.

The story of Bentley may give you some good ideas.
