Gosling having trouble standing and walking.

I have a nearly 2 month old male Pilgrim who has recently started having trouble standing. It seems to be a major effort to get to his feet, and when he does his gate is very labored. He spend a lot of time laying he doesn't eat from his feet. Any thoughts?

Has he had niacin in his feed? Is he out eating grass several hours a day? Are there any other symptoms? Could he have been injured? Is there any swelling or heat in his legs? Are his legs straight? Can you describe his trouble walking?

He is out on grass daily. Eats well. Feeding a poultry grower ration with added minerals. No injury that I can tell. Legs are straight but seem to be wider set than my others. I would call it a "lumbering" gate. Think of a guy who is 6'6" and weighs 450lbs. I apologize to any one that big, don't mean to offend, but that's all I can think of to compare it to.

I don't have a clue, but hopefully this will get the attention of someone who knows what the problem might be.

Could you post a standing picture of your Pilgrim?
My Ninya walks pigeon-toed and now weats a corrective hobble to bring her knees in closer to her body.
