Chick paws weak, walking on knees, what s going on

Chick paws are weak and walk on their knees, the reasons may be:

Congenital malformations, which are caused by genetic or damage during embryonic development;

Trauma, due to imbalance or impact in the process of running and jumping, the leg muscles, ligaments or nerves are damaged, causing motor dysfunction;

Lack of nutrients is due to unbalanced nutrition, lack of certain vitamins or trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium and other nutritional metabolic diseases.

If it is the third reason, you can adjust your diet and supplement your nutrition**. In the second case, it is necessary to send the pet to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and reduce the position by external fixation.

Attention should be paid to raising chicks:

1.Keep warm: Use a cardboard box to let the chicks live (do not use an iron cage), and you can spread soft warmth such as soft cloth or cotton newspaper at the bottom of the box. Note that chick paws are prone to illness and even death if they are exposed to the cold.

2.Feeding: Do not feed water in addition to small and frequent meals. Feed too much, poor gastrointestinal digestion, love to get sick. If you eat too much water and vegetables, you will have diarrhea.

3.Disease prevention: 3-7 week old chicks are prone to bursal disease, which is manifested as major joints, white sloppy, and chicks may not be able to stand up. The disease has a high morbidity and low mortality, and feeding antibiotics can help chicks tolerate this disease and not develop it again in the future.

Summary. Sometimes newborn chicks will have weakness in their feet and can't stand up, probably because their bodies are too weak and they will get better in two days, but sometimes they can't stand up and have other problems. In addition to chicks, if adult chickens suddenly have weak feet and cannot stand and walk, there must be a problem, then the chicken's soft feet must first find the real cause, in order to be based on the root cause of the problem, and then know how to prevent it.

Daronzhik treats symptoms such as lameness, swollen joints, paralyzed legs, weakness of the legs, synovial bursal mycoplasma and respiratory diseases. Infected with viruses such as infectious vertebral encephalitis, after infection, it spreads quickly, first the head trembles, then the feet are weak and paralyzed, and finally they die. After Marek's disease is infected, it injures the sciatic nerve, resulting in splitting hemiplegia and inability to move the feet.

Or Newcastle disease, which is manifested by limping, unsteadiness on standing, and looks like a sign of weak feet. Infected with bacterial infection, infectious bursitis, the joints of chickens will be swollen and it will be difficult to walk. Chickens with avian tuberculosis will jump and cannot move on one foot.

Salmonella and staphylococcus infections can cause arthritis, and can also cause weak feet, inability to move, or immobility.

What should I do if my chick's paws don't have strength and I can't stand up? Can it heal on its own? How long does it take?

Can you elaborate on that a little bit more?

In the process of poultry breeding or in the process of poultry slaughtering, it is often found that some chickens have swelling in the toes and tarsal joints, although the mortality rate of these chickens is not high, but the joint inflammation often reduces its production performance, and the elimination rate increases, and in serious cases, it will also cause certain deaths, causing losses to chicken production. There are many factors that can cause inflammation in the joints of chickens in the process of poultry breeding, so it is necessary to do a good job in differential diagnosis and prevention in time.
