I don't think added vitamins can hurt, especially with Silkies. Some can be prone to being unable to absorb enough vitamins, so I think it cant hurt, especially for growing babies.
I got the NAH chicks tendon back in place and it slept in my hand for about a half hour and it stayed were it should. Once I put it in the brooder it popped back out. I now have it in a splint. I couldn't feel the tendon in Hoppy, it might be too contracted to fix. I'm going to try again, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've read there isn't high success in healing this. I'm still going to feel horrible if I have to cull any of them, but small consolidation if it is not a disease.
Oh poor baby,
sounds like putting weight on it pulls it back out. I've never dealt with a slipped tendon, it does sound painful, but it sounds like you are doing all you can. 
At least he got some love and quality sleep with you. 
Give the little guy some love for me. ❤
I think it's working! It's putting some weight on it and cruising around a little then resting. When I go by (and have clean hands) I'm grabbing it out and checking that it's still in place, once it was out, this last time is was still in, but I give it a little stretch and confirm it's right. Hoppy is really stiff, so I started just gently stretching and flexing its little leg. I didn't want to do too much, but when I ended it had half to 2/3 range of motion. So I think I'll keep doing that every time I check Nah and see if I can get it stretching more and locate the tendon to see about putting it in place. I was texting the breeder, he hasn't had anyone give any feedback about issues, everyone is having huge success with his eggs hatching. Ugh, maybe it was the incubator temperature fluxuating too much? Or I candled too many times? I'm not sure. I'm hoping he doesn't think I'm a complete idiot and never wants to risk selling me hatching eggs againOh poor baby,
my husband said if I want to hatch again well get a commercial machine that is perfect, I haven't told him those will probably cost a few grand and hatch a couple hundred eggs at a time... details, details 
in the spring I'll have silkies and maybe one or ten will go broody and I can hatch under them.
Fabulous you are making headway with the tendon repositioning!I think it's working! It's putting some weight on it and cruising around a little then resting.

Just keep working with both of them, and hopefully you can get them back to good strength soon. I did a Google search on what causes slipped Tendons and apparently it's a Manganese deficiency? You might do more research on this and maybe find foods that you can feed them to help with this condition? So I'm not so sure it was the incubator or hatching techniques. Either way, you are doing a great job with the splints! Keep me posted on these two! 
he such a beautiful jerk.
Aww...Jetpack is adorable! ❤ His packs sure are growing!JetPack is frizzling up nicely, I've seen him sparring a few times today, I'm wondering if his opponents are also cockerels or fiesty pullets. Could be either at this point. Oh, and good news on Einio, I took some time to watch her and the other 19 wk pullets (and 16 wk silkies!) this morning. She's almost normal, her movements are only slightly off, and she was picking skirmishes with the other pullets, not the one running away and getting picked on. Go Einio! I was crouched down in the run 4-6 inches from the side watching them and Fizz came up next to me, I just ignored him, I was having a lovely time watching Einio work on her flock position, and Nu and Heavy crow! Fizz chest bumped the wire next to me, I still ignored him, next thing I know he Jet Lee'd the side of the run. He kicked it so hard he forced the wire in and gave me a solid kick in the hip. The chicken wire is bent
He's going to be a gorgeous bird! 
How does such a handsome boy start to go so bad?! I hope he doesn't get worse, just be careful around him and don't turn your back on him. He could really hurt you if he came up from behind!
Thank you!Fabulous you are making headway with the tendon repositioning!
Good morning!
How is Hoppy doing? You are right though, a bit of uncomfortable now will pay off for a lifetime of comfort. If you get this figured out, you should write an article for our Learning Center, there are others with this same issue that can benefit from your experiences!
It's always the pretty ones too. Well, boys be boys I guess. They can settle down as they age, fire burns down, hormones diminish. If this is as bad as he gets, you should be able to get through it all.
They got some Poultry Cell every other day their first week and a half, back on it now daily, along with the B complex and vitamin D. I know the Bs flush through, but in case others aren't I plan just to do a week of everything. Then I may drop out the Poultry cell. But, I'll be consulting with you next week to verifyGood morning!
Oh I forgot about Poultry Cell, I use it all the time, it's one of the best supplements out there. Definitely get that going!
Glad Nah is doing better now, he will probably get tired enough and just collapse to lay down.
Some boys are just naughty unfortunately.
Have a great day today, don't work too hard and be safe on the roads driving!
along with Hoppy's PT tonight. I hope I have great success and can write an article! That would be cool.
