Wobbly legs?

[annampet]

I have a 13 or 14 week old pullet that has wobbly legs. I haven't been able to get a good video of her but can try again after the rain today.
She's wobbled since about 4 or 5 weeks old (I think), tends to "sit" a lot and will stumble a little when she walks/runs. She's otherwise normal, eats, roosts, can run and forages with the rest when they get a little free range time. She will forage and if she finds a spot she likes will scratch a little and then sit and peck.
None of the other 6 pullets that we have show similar signs.

Question is, could this be Merek's? Or more likely something neurological?
Thanks for the help!

I can’t upload a video. I get a message that the file is to large, so here’s a picture of her sitting.

Have a Buff Orpington roo with the exact same symptoms, started about a week ago. Otherwise eating and drinking normally. Put it on Sav-A-Chic which helped temporarily, but he's back to sitting on his hocks again. Per PoultryDVM not all cases are Merk's... will be watching the thread as well.

What do you feed your flock?

I believe this an be a sign of a vitamin deficiency.
Let me look up which vitamin...be right back.

You can try offering riboflavin to see if that helps.

Would Rooster Booster be a good choice?
