My Wyandotte keeps falling over

[StickInsect123]

Hi everyone, my Silver laced wyandotte (13 weeks old), has swollen knees and she keeps falling backwards/stumbling. It's been happening for about a week now, we have been letting her (or him?) out of her coop often and making sure she eats things other than just her chick food. She hasn't seemed to have gotten much better, though, and I'm a bit worried. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the matter? Other than her legs, she seems fine, still curious and in good spirits, eating and drinking. Thanks in advance!

Any chance of anything moldy or toxic?
Diet?

Hi, we have had a lot of rain so it’s a possibility. I have other chickens who have been having no problem, though. She eats chick grower from PetBarn, and goes out of coop quite a lot so she eats bugs, grass, etc.

Does she get a fair share of feed?
I'd try some vitamins.

Hi, yes she can eat as much as she likes, always an option for the chicks to have normal feed, she has always been a bit greedy so I doubt she will be eating too little. I think the other chicks eat just as much as she does. What types of vitamins? Thanks so much for the suggestion, will try it!

Chicken vitamins from the feed store or b complex from the grocery store, any brand. Give third tablet every day for a few weeks of the b complex.
