I can’t seem to upload a video. I will keep trying. Darn technology.

Great info, thank you. I will give it a try!B complex just goes right through their system if they don't need it. You can't overdose is my understanding. I'd take a human pill B complex 50 or B complex 100 and smash it up and put it in their water. Or you could mix it with raw egg or probiotic yogurt and feed it directly to her in whatever she will happily eat. [For grown chickens you'd pop half a pill or a whole pill in their beaks and have them swallow, but this is a baby. ]
Nutridrench is good.
I think Rooster Booster also is a source of B vitamins, but wouldn't want to over do it on the other ingredients in there.
B vitamins (maybe niacin?) are good for nervous system issues such as curled toe paralysis, which can mimic Merek's disease. Unsteadiness on feet sounds like something nervous system related (I've no idea what), so I figure B vitamins can't hurt, and might be helpful. Note - for curled toe paralysis, they require B vitamin treatment for 4-6 weeks at minimum before seeing improvement. So good effects may take time to be noticed.
