Young chicken with weak legs

[Jlevans001]

4month old silkie. Other two are fine. Noticed yesterday she seems a bit weak on her legs. keeps neck down while walking, and has dry/broken feathers on her neck. Eating/drinking fine, walking around fairly well and seems perky. On 20% flock maker Kalmbach. Started vitamin E supplement in water today. Spraying run/coop with poultry protector and changing bedding in coop. Any advice?

Silkies are very prone to vitamin deficiencies, I suggest giving them both vitamin filled water everyday. Make sure the vitamins you're giving have vitamin B 12 and vitamin E.

Can you post some photos?

I would direct dose her with the vitamins instead of adding them to her water.

Pop the pills into her. 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B- Complex once a day.

B- Complex usually eight B Vitamins including B1(Thiamine) which can help with neurological symptoms. B12 is is just 1 vitamin (Colabamin) which is part of the B family.

Offer her some eggs in addition to her eating her normal feed, this can give an extra boost of protein plus help with the uptake of E.
Be sure she's drinking well and eating, if you need to, then help her eat by hand feeding or tube feeding.
