Please help---question about F.Rangers/lame chicks/weight gain

[mommainpa]

Good news! When I checked on the chicks this morning, all four of the lame chicks are up and walking again! You can tell them from the others; they're a little unsteady on their legs. One still has a little difficulty with the very ends of his toes uncurling. But they are all walking on their feet, not on their knees. Phew! Hopefully, they'll continue the road of improved health. We'll never know for sure, but seems like the vitamin therapy worked. Barry, it very well could have been due to Riboflavin---that's included in the vitamins I've been giving them.

I've gotten past feeling frustrated about this experience. I'm going to chalk it up in the category of learning more about broiler nutrition and move on.

Thanks to all of you who offered ideas and support. I so appreciate ideas and opinions from those who have more experience than I do.
