Silkie can't walk

[Hstacks23]

My silkie is 6-7 weeks old, and out of the blue her legs just stopped working properly, her toes curl up under her feet and her legs stay fully extended unless she fights against them. I have tried taping her toes in the correct position and helping her stretch her legs, as well as giving her poultry cell to help with what i guessed is a riboflavin deficiency. She doesn't seem to be making any improvement, she can't stay upright for more than a minute and can only eat if i hold her in front of the food. If there is anything else i should be trying before giving up please let me know!

Can you post photos?

What do you feed?

Has she been injured or pecked on the head?

Is she pooping - what's that like?

I'd try giving 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily along with 400IU Vitamin E.

I feed them show flock starter now, before she stopped walking i was feeding them medicated chick starter but decided to switch to show flock after realizing the medicated chick starter might be deficient in some vitamins they need. And i just started giving her the poultry cell once daily. I can't say she looks to have any injuries of any kind, its possible she was pecked by one of the other chicks but no clear signs of pecking. Her poop seems normal as far as i can tell, not super runny of anything. I just started hanging her up by a sock sling so she can still eat and drink water on her own, unfortunately without that she just stays on the ground all day. Still eating and drinking plenty though so I'll give her a few weeks to see if anything changes.

Poor little thing!

I'd continue with the Poultry Cell, but I'd also get her on the 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily too.

Any specific brand or anything you would recommend? I'm not familiar with any b complex tablets and can't remember seeing anything like that at the local feed store

You can find B-Complex in the vitamin aisle of stores like Wal Mart, CVS, etc.
