Rickets???

[steve9906]

Hi I am new to forum .I hatched about 14 chicks on th March 22.About 3 days later one chick was limping.I read about rickets and have been feeding it the rickets diet for about 6 days .At first the leg was turned out ,and the knee wae swelled.Know the leg is turned in a little but it can"t straighten feet on that leg.it sits on the knee alot .The other leg is ok its taking all the weight.Do I keep the diet going or does it sound like something else??? Also all the others are fine.Does it take a couple of weeks to see major improvement?

Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't know about rickets. Are you giving vitamins? Was the chick vaccinated for Mareks? Bumping your post up.

Hi and

i wish i could say I have the answers your looking for but I don't so hopefully someone will be here shortly to help.. I would think it would take longer than 6 days though to work..
