Wobbly chickens

[savvychickz]

I have a 14 week old chick my broody hen hatched with 4 other chicks, this morning while letting them out she is slow, wobbly, and her wings are droopy and she stays to the ground, her poop seems to be normal and she’s still eating. It’s like her right foot went lame and her toes are curled making it harder for her to walk. I currently have her in my bathroom away from all other contact with chickens just in case. Can anyone help? Never had this happen before.

I would treat her for dehydration, but it sounds possibly like symptoms of Mareks disease. Give her water with electrolytes and vitamins, and make sure the vitamins have riboflavin (B2.) Vitamin B complex tablets are also good to use. That may help the curled toes, but lameness and curled toes can be from Mareks. Could she have had an injury? Do you have any pictures? Here is some reading about Mareks:

Okay thanks! No I do not believe she’s had an injury. Here are some pics, she’s still eating and drinking.

She’s also kinda shaky while just standing still. She acts like fine, very talkative but also seems confused.
