Chick Leg Problem is not a very uncommon problem and we have been really encouraged with the result of Hematophos (info@saifevetmed.com) which provides excellent recovery and you can use it as prophylaxis in susceptible chick batch @ 1ml/5kg body weight. Condition apparently seem to be due to nutritional deficiency.

Dear dr, if Chick Leg Problem happens in first ten days of age, then it migt be due to adeno virus this situation prevails for three to four days n then it recovers, u can say this orpb, verticaly transmitted from parents flock. I dont think that its a nutritional defficinecy bcoz bird is quite young.

Unless we get all details about Chick Leg Problem, any prediction is of no use. How can it be diagnosed / judged with a picture.? So let give all details, then we can discuss & conclude something. Mr. Muhmmad Sajid, pl give the details, if you really want to over come the issue and get some solution.

Its very unlikely that nutritional deficiencies occur in this young age. Chicks in the initial few days of life may show symptoms if plced on paper (newspapers mostly), as they tend to slip time and again. Do you have any such history. Rest, we can diagnose correctly, if more details are available, alongwith the photo.

this is young chick which have weak bones that could have dislocated/ bacterial infection which may cause kinky back. But young chicks may have problems of poor development of the skeletal due to molds in feed enteritis .this photo is not good for differential diagnosis
