Hunched legs, green watery droppings

[Bickstead]

I have a hen that hasnt been able to fully stand for over a month. When she does walk, she is very unstable. She eats alot. She comes to me every time I go out there. The other chickens actually seem to protect her. I started treating for vit b deficiency because I read on another thread here someone else's hen was walking the same way and it worked for them. But today I noticed her droppings are very watery and more green than normal. Could it be from the vit b? I have one other hen that has had a head twitch pretty much her whole life. I've been treating her as well. I dont want to put Noodle down, but I think I may have started treatment too late (if it is a vitamin deficiency). What else could this be? They're silkies. About 17-20 weeks old. I spoke with the breeder. Shes never had a case of mareks. There is no lice or mites. I have not dewormed. I have 6 birds i got from her at the same time. I tried adding a video of her walking and it wouldn't let me. I can post it on my Facebook or Instagram or send it to anyone who may be able to help me.

Welcome. You can upload a video to YouTube or a similar site with a link posted here. Can you take any pictures? What vitamin B are you using exactly? Human super B complex is what I recommend and give 1/4 tablet daily in food or a spoonful of water. Does your silkie have curled under toes or is she walking on her hocks. Is she eating and drinking much? Can she get to the food and water? What are you feeding? You may need to make her a chicken sling chair or place her near her food and water. Here is a link about chicken slings, the first 2 pages are very good, and you can attach food and water to the sling:

What vitamin B are you using exactly?
Durvet vit b complex oral gel.I tried a human tablet crushed and mixed with water or food and she refused to take it.

Does your silkie have curled under toes or is she walking on her hocks?
No curled toes, walking on hocks? Kind of?

Is she eating and drinking much?
She eats alot. Doesn't drink much, I have been adding water to her crumble, she eats more that way.

Can she get to the food and water?
She can get to the food and water by herself still.

What are you feeding?
Kambalch, 20 percent protein crumbles
I sprinkle scratch but she wont eat it. I have been giving her an egg yolk every day as well. And they get fresh veggies, but she doesn't eat those either.

Does anyone have any advice?

It is so hard to see the legs very well with feathered legs. She is walking on her hocks, so hopefully, the B complex gel will help. I would continue treatment for a couple of weeks. Some chickens have leg bone deformities such as varus or valgus deformity which cause one or both legs to bow out or curve inward at the hock. But I cannot tell much. Here is a link with some of the common leg bone deformities:

She was fine when she was younger. I was looking at old videos and it started slowly, but I didnt catch on quick enough.
