Thanks, I was hoping I wasnt alone in my way of thinking.

I started him on a suppliment I found called save a chic. You may have heard of it. It seems to be full of vitamins. Hope it works.

I have heard of save-a-chick, but don't have any personal experience with it. But I hope it works; it has worked for others.

Best wishes.

I would be giving him vitamins, since vitamin deficiency is a major cause of leg and foot problems in chicks. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is very important. Also for neurologic problems Vitamin B1, E, and selenium are good. I would either use chick vitamins in the water or give him Polyvisol without iron 2 drops a day by mouth.

I agree. Marek's doesn't usually become symptomatic until 6 weeks or so. I would be trying vitamins, especially B vitamins
