So my hen had 10 baby chicks last Friday, but one of them has, and Spraddle legs. I've been able to help it with adding vitamin E to its water and adding braces to its legs to correct its stance. But I've needed to force feed it the vitamins and food for the past 3 days, because now its legs have gotten weak to stand up, i'm not sure if its because of the Spraddle legs. It can't stand, but it wants to move around, so it just hops around. Is there anything I can give it? like another type of vitamin, or I've also heard that I can give it some scrambled eggs?. I've been trying to have it do therapy inside and outside my house, but it just hops around for 3-5 mins before getting tired and falling asleep for 1-2 hours, while its sibling are walking around with their mother eat outside all day. I'm really not sure what I should do, this is my first time any of my chickens have gotten sick like this, so any help would really be appreciated.
(These are photos of the chick, they were just jumping 10 mins before the photos were taken, but as you can see, it can't stand on its own, so if there's anything I can give it, so it can stand on its legs, I'll mean the world to me.)
