Leg problem?

[hootyup93]

This is Ruby. She is 4 weeks old. I just noticed her legs don’t look right,she not standing like others I have that are same age. She walks okay to get food/water. I’m not sure. Any ideas? What can I do?

I thought Spraddle leg was when legs/foot turned outwards to sides?

Are both legs going outwards? It looks like they are both pointing to the left. I've never dealt with spraddle leg, so I'm not much help. Sorry.

I took a couple more photos. Looks like maybe the one is turning out. I’m not good at this. I’m new to chicken raising.

She's bonded with you for life, you know. This may be a B-vitamin deficiency that causes weak muscle/nerve connections. Go to the store where they shelve the people vitamins. Get B-100 or B-50 complex. Give a half a tablet each day directly into her beak. It may take up to a month to see improvement so be patient and don't give up. Give a vitamin E capsule each day for a week as it can also help with nerve issues.

I've heard that if you pull down gently on her wattles, it will open her mouth and you can pop the pill in.
