I'm sorry you are having so much trouble.

I encourage you to have some testing done so you can get a handle on what's going on with your flock.

Can you post some photos of the "dirty hens", their eggs and the legs of the other two chicks that seem to have leg issues?
What type of food/treats do you feed your flock and the chicks?

Thanks.

And yes I would, but its hard to do when you are rural.

Yes, I will get a picture of the 3 dirty looking hens and the eggs (If I can find their new nesting spot….) Here are the two other chicks, these 3 are all related.

Laikas Feet/legs:





And Kais feet, its not as bad but you can see it coming:






Hmmm…..the flock (s) get a bit of everything, I cant list everything. Fruits,seeds etc etc

Im careful with what I give the chicks, they get peas a lot of the time now, and yesterday they had a lot of wild bird seed. Their main diet is chick starter.

I find that they do get into adult chicken feed when they go outside.

And as they grow older I allow more treats.

Im getting really worried.

Kais legs are still the same as shown, however she has got a 'pale' look to her face.

Laikas feet/legs are much much worse then in the pics now

Olive looks like she has gotten worse too- With her legs and feet, however she has a bright face.

All the other chicks that have not come from these parents have no similar problem what so ever.

I'm sorry they aren't improving.

Have you offer them any extra poultry vitamins in their water? These can usually be found at your local feed store. Poultry Nutri-Drench or Rooster Booster Poultry Cell would be 2 that I know of.

Are they able to walk?
