5 week old favoring right leg and curling it in or laying it out by it's side. Any ideas? Just put Vetericyn Plus on it. Do we need Poultry Cell?

Just moved from brooder to coop enclosure with pine straw yesterday.

Can you post photos of her standing up and laying down on her own?

You put Vetericyn on the leg, is there a wound?

She may have injured or sprained it, since they just moved to a new enclosure.

I'd see that she's able to get to food/water and is not getting picked on.

You can give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex once daily if you wish.
 
Used Vetericyn as a just in case. She's eating fine and water. Other chicks are fine around her. If she tries to walk, she hobbies like a drunken sailor. No issues with me touching her leg or moving it around. Is that b complex tablet like normal Walmart vitamin aisle or something special from feed store or Tractor Supply?

Poor thing!

What is she eating?

If she's wobbly/drunk too, I'd also add some Vitamin E to go along with the B-Complex.
You can find both at Walmart in the vitamin aisle. Look for 400IU Vitamin E.
