Help what is wrong

I do not think this is a vitamin deficiency. With vitamin deficiencies, you’re more likely to see pale birds and wry necks.

I think this is a leg injury. She may have either broken her leg or slipped a tendon.

Between a slipped tendon and broken leg it would be a slipped tendon not a broken leg because I checked her leg and it had no broken bones

Chickens do better on a 20% all flock feed or a 16% layer feed. 30% protein, though better for game birds could have too much protein and possibly lead to kidney disease or gout. She could have an injured sciatic nerve in her affected leg, or a vitamin or mineral problem. Do you have a rooster, or could another bird have injured her? Are your roosts very high? I would give her half of a human vitamin B or super B complex tablet once a day, crushed into some moist food or egg. Limit her activity inside a wire crate with food, water, and plenty of shade near the others. Observe her ability to walk each day. Here is a good price on B complex:

Ok

Can you get photos of her standing from behind?

Any photos of when she was younger that shows how she stood?

How old is she?

I agree, the 30% feed is too high of protein for long term use, the feed instructions say to feed to 10weeks of age, but up to 16weeks. So I'd start transitioning to a lower protein chick starter or all flock type feed that is 18-22% protein.

Do you raise Gamebirds (Quail, Pheasant, Turkey, etc.)?

The leg that is out - can you feel the joint to see if the tendon is slipped out of place?

Yes I can get pictures from behind

No photos from a young age

Like 4-5 months

I will start moving down on protein

No I don’t raise gamebirds

Yes I can check for a slipped tendon

Poor girl.

I hope you are able to fix the leg. I'd certainly start her on the vitamin therapy as suggested.

With her being a bit older, if the tendon is slipped, it may be harder to try to correct, but it would be worth trying anyway.

Ok thanks for the help

Let us know if her leg improves.
