Hi everyone
Have 2 chicks who have issues with lameness
Have attached pix of one
Have been adding vits to water, and food is medicated againstcoccidiosis
They are both eating and drinking
Both can get up still and walk, but its wobbly and they sit on hock often
Flock were very boisterous and I thought they'd injured them but can't see anything
Been reading up on illnesses but nothing seems to fit
Even wondered if they were too heavy?
Only second year hatching chicks and heartbroken.
Is there any hope?
Not rung our vets as unsure they know much about chickens and can't even go in with them and explain cos of Covid
