I have a 9wk old SLW pullet who started a little unsteady on her feet about 2wks ago. Then this morning she jumped out into the run and fell on hee side, couldn't get up. I picked her up, she looks ok overal. And then she ran off with the others. Weight is good, eating drinking and pooping normal. Her face is very red, been like that for a few weeks. this afternoon seemed more unsteady even, and kept falling over on her side. I quarantined her in the brooder box alone, and she can move some, but very unsteady. My other 3 girls are normal.

Heres my girl, Shelly.
 
Actually, if she is going into a serious vitamin deficiency, the medicated feed will make it worse. I would put her on non-medicated feed for the time being until you figure out what the problem is.

How will the medicated feed make it worse?
