After tons of lurking I have finally decided to ask you for help, because I'm all out of ideas. I have a langshan chick at 8 weeks old that can barely walk. It's always putting the left leg ahead and pulling the right leg from behind to stumble forward. I noticed it ~2 weeks ago when I was in the coop and this chick wouldn't stop shaking, so I brought it inside. At first I thought it was just cold, but when it didn't get better the next day I suspected an injury or vitamin deficiency. I don't think it's marek's because of it's age, and the whole flock is regularly vaccinated for Newcaste disease. I now have it isolaed in the living room and I gave it a vit-b-complex tablet once a day, but nothing has changed since - for the better or worse. I just want to know if it's treatable or if I have to cull, or if there's even a way to know.
I thought some expert might have an idea what's going on with this chick based on how it walks:
Here's the ingredients of the tablets I tried (I gave 1 tablet a day, whole, directly into it's beak)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit to add: It's eating (a lot) and drinking fine, poop looks normal.
