How to Strengthen Weak Legs

[Mygirls1994]

My 12 week old chick just survived Sour Crop. She is now eating and drinking well. But, she can't stand too well. We have made her a low to the ground bar to perch on. She can balance herself for a few seconds than she falls over. I've been having her perch on my fingers and I assist her to balance for short periods of time. Any other suggestions to strengthen her legs? Thanks!

It sounds like you're doing the right thing. Make sure she is getting plenty of the vitamin riboflavin. And put the food and water near to her to allow her to reach it! The longer she can't walk, the harder it'll be for her to get the strength to. So yes, keep encouraging her to use her legs, just make sure not to stress her out too much!
