Help Waddles

[Freespirit61]

When I got my NH Reds I had one that was walking funny. I did not think it was going to make it. I gave it Manna Pro and it snapped out of it and was fine. i named her/him Waddles. Now at 7 weeks she is back to waddling Legs just won't hold her up. Has anyone experienced this problem and what did you do for it. Any suggestions except killing are excepted. You can see her on my youtube channel. Here is the link.

Do u have a pic? Also do you know which leg is giving her/him trouble, if not both?
There could be many reasons. Not all are listed here.

1. Had splayed legs as a chick
2. Bumblefoot
3. Other injury (many possibilities of reasons Waddles was injured.)

What type of Manna Pro, and does it contain B vitamins and minerals? Is she on a balanced chicken starter grower? Do you have a rooster or older chickens with the young ones? If she has not been eating a balanced feed, it could be a vitamin/mineral deficiency or riboflavin deficiency. Mareks. Disease or an injury could also be possible. I would give her 1/4 tablet daily of human super B complex daily either given orally or crushed in a small amount of food. Treat for at least 2 weeks. If the Manna Pro has that, it may be fine as long as she is getting a balanced feed as well.

It seems to be both feet. They were a run not sexed. As a chick the kick from the Manna Pro brought her out of it. I gave chick electrolytes yesterday. A little while ago I gave Manna Pro. I seperated her I did not want her flock to kill her.

Good idea.
I'm not sure that I have enough knowledge to give you additional suggestions but I would consider all the advice Eggcessive gave.
Good luck with your chicky.

Now she is in a dog crate but the big chickens cannot get to her to hurt her.

She is on Chick Starter. The Manna Pro is called Hydro-Hen 3 in one supplement. Probiotics+ Electrolytes+ Acidifiers. I do not see vitamin B but she should be getting that in her feed. The Manna Pro brought her out of it as a new chick. She is now 7 weeks and here we go again.

You could give her a 1/4 tablet of human super B complex tablet once a day in food or orally. Here is a good buy on that, and it help with leg problems:
