Poult walking on its knees...

[rmonge00]

I have a 3 week old poult that somehow just forgot how to walk on its feet and now walks on its knees. I am pretty sure that no bones are broken and that all of the tendons are working, and it looks healthy otherwise. Obviously though, it won't be able to live very long without being able to walk. Has anyone seen this before? Any possible suggestions or does it need to be euthanized?

Any help would be appreciated!

I have a week old Turkey that the same thing is going on with. Just started this morning. Giving it Starter food and mixed up some sugar water for it. Did yours get better.
