Vitamin Deficiency or Mereks???

[Shellbrown]

Help! Have a 7 week old chic who's leg looked injured .Thought it had got hurt so after a big fight with momma hen I was able to bring it in .I noticed it was both legs so was treating it for splayed legs and curly toes. A few days later it's sibling is doing the same thing .I was hoping it was was a vitamin deficiency.Its also a sign of meraks and other horrible things how do I know the difference?? What should I be giving all my chickens and ducks now.?

Human super B complex tablets 1/4 -1/2 tablet daily per chicken is good for legs if there is a vitamin deficiency. Do you have any pictures of the chick and how it stands? Hard to know if it is an injury, deficiency, or what. Does one leg seem weaker than the other?

One chick legs wants to do the splits and the other chicks legs keep going straight out in front of it almost like he can't bend them .

Pictures? What are you feeding them? Have you started the b complex vitamins 1/4 tablet daily to each chick?
