So my little pullet has been ill for about 2 months now, she’s 3 months old. She’s part silkie, and I don’t know if she is just small or her growth is stunted. For about a month, she was completely immobile, couldn’t walk at all, but ate & drank fine. She getting around a bit more now, but her toes were curling, so i tried to bandage them flat. I think it could be a vitamin b12 or b2 deficiency, and she’s been on vitamins as soon as the symptoms started. Anyone have any ideas?

Update: her legs were straddled when i let the chickens out this morning. Apparently she had a seizure earlier, flapping around and panting. I don’t know why she’s suddenly got worse, but I’m planning on upping her riboflavin intake with egg whites, almonds and such.
Other from that I don’t really know what to do.

I'm sorry that she is getting worse:hugs

If you suspect she had a seizure, then it may be time to put her out of her misery. I know it's always a tough decision to make, but you have to consider her quality of life. She is not able to move around much, her legs are spraddled and from your description of flapping around and panting, she is in distress.
