Walking issues

[Jerrychick]

Hi, My chick is 10 weeks old and has difficulty in walking, both legs trembling. The problem started 4 weeks ago. Can somebody help?

Welcome to BYC. Could you possibly upload a video of the pullet walking or standing to YouTube or a similar site? What does the chick eat? Could you get some human super B complex tablets and crush 1/4 tablet daily in some food? Does she do this all of the time or just when she is handled?

She does it all the time. The chicken is eating commercial feed. Started to give her boiled egg yolk once a day. I will definitely upload a video and post the link here.

Tremors can be a neurological issue. There is a viral disease called avian encephalomyelitis or epidemic tremors that affects baby chicks around 1-3 weeks. If the chick was normal up until 6 weeks old, I doubt that this is what you are seeing. Vitamin E can be helpful with some neurological symptoms. You could also use a general vitamin for chickens. Here is a link about AE:

Please be more specific about food. Brand protein percentage and type. Do you have any other chicks her age? How healthy are they?

I have only one chick and the feed is just normal commercial feed being given.
