My 2 to 3 month old chick will no longer walk on one leg :( PLEASE HLP

I don't know if it is a good idea to not feed her for 24 hours or not. I would try an intense vitamin B therapy. I had 2 chickens exactly like yours & I treated them with crushed vit. B for about a week & they are both fine now! I kept them isolated & propped up with towels and added vit. B to their food & water.
Good luck with Buffy & I hope she get better soon!

That seems interesting but not to feed for 24 hours? Or not to feed protein? I think I will try too and give Brownie ( My partridge cochin) some grass clippings and see if there is improvement. She has been taking the yogurt with a disolved childrens vitamin( - No iron) and I didn't give her the whole thing. But she looks improved. At this point I will do anything if it helps.
Thanks for the suggestion

I didnt give her food for about 18 hours, then I decided I would just limit her food strictly to her eating 3 times a day for about 5-10 minutes or until she becomes uninterested in the food! I have her separated in her own box and have been dipping her beak into some medicine water I mixed up for her every few hours or so! The water mix is mixed from a vitamin and electrolyte mix I got from the feed store and an antibiotic mix added to it. GOOD NEWS IS... SHE STOOD YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 DAYS!!! YAY!

She has been standing on and off today and yesterday she was standing pretty steadily for over 5 minutes! HUGE IMPROVEMENT I THINK! I pray she continues to improve! I will keep you updated on her status!



write2caroline- Yes actually removing protein from the diet rather then giving them no food also works or could be a better option for others! Good luck with Brownie!

GREAT NEWS! Buffy is now walking and standing really well! She gets a little wobbly every now and then but she still regaining the strength in her feet and legs day by day! I would have to say that she is 95% better and I couldn't be happier!
