HELP! There's something wrong with my pullet's leg!

[Deeya8604]

I have an 11 week old Production Red pullet and she's having trouble walking. I first noticed when she kept squatting and laying down.as I watched her walk, I noticed her legs were very wobbly. please click on the link below to watch the YouTube video I took of her. Do you think its a break? Or maybe a sprain? I was going to put a splint on it, but I didn't know which way I should make the splint go. right now she is being quarantined in a guinea pig cage so she doesn't move around too much. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

I am not an expert on leg problems, but I suspect she may have either a vitamin deficiency (riboflavin or B2) or a slipped tendon. Riboflavin deficiency is not easy to treat if it is long-standing, but the earlier it is treated with poultry vitamins in the water the better chances for a good outcome. Slipped achilles tendon or a defect in the shape of the tibia or femur can also be difficult to treat.
