Pullet is stumbling backwards! Help!

@nuthatched fair enough. Is nutri-drench good enough or do you recommend a b complex? Do I provide both?

@D1N0 not that I’m aware of. I did try and study her legs and movements. What am I looking for, swelling? Do they even bruise on their legs?

Google says this "limping, favoring the affected leg, reluctance to put weight on it, and potentially holding the leg up in a forward position"

Nutra should be when given directly, but if you want to, get some b complex tablets from the grocery store and give her about a third everyday. You can crush it and give it directly in an oral suspension.

Google is generally not helpful to downright wrong with its diagnosis, be care to trust it.

@nuthatched thank you. I’m changing out their water to get rid of corid tonight.

@D1N0 no, I don’t think so. I’ve seen her trot slowly around the yard to catch up to the flock or avoid my nosey dogs sniffer. Not often, but she does use her legs normally (as normal as she can be right now). Not favoring either side. She could be reluctant to put weight on both legs?

To me, it’s either dizzy or weak, possibly a combination. Her head and eyes seem fine and attentive though.

I try to take it with a grain of salt.

@nuthatched What about Rooster Booster liquid B-12 plus vitamin k chicken supplement in combination with nutri-drench? Reason not to or do you favor an over counter b complex for another reason?

I glfavor the plain b complex because it's cheaper, lol. The complex part is pretty essential and most chicken vitamins don't have wide panel of Bs.

Thank you for that!
