8 weeks old chick walking bad. Help!

[RiccardoR]

Hi all,

I have a 8 weeks old chick, most likely a male, that walks bad. It seems he is out of balance.

You can see him in the video attached. He is the white one.

What could it be and how can I help him?

It could be vitamin related or neurological. You can give him vitamin E and a B complex pill twice a day for a few weeks and see if he improves.

Thanks.

Another short video.

Here's my thread about Einio, your chick looks similar but not as bad as Einio was. A few folks gave me some good advice there. I still have her, she's not "normal" but she gets around, roosts at night, keeps up with everyone pretty well. She still walks a little tipsy like and her feet are a little puffy. If you don't really look for it it's not super noticeable.
