Over feeding
Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by Holyjay10: 1:51pm On Jul 20, 2020
Pls go get liquid and powdered calcium ASAP,,,, hope u gave them normal vaccine dose
Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by wolebest: 1:53pm On Jul 20, 2020
Rickets. Go to the vet doctor around your area for advice.
Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by wolebest: 2:00pm On Jul 20, 2020
It's caused by imbalance of calcium, bit D etc in the feed.
Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by mhiztaNexy(m): 2:05pm On Jul 20, 2020
Get calcium phosphate. Broilers generally tend to have bone/leg issues. Visit the vet store asap and tell em about it. Most definitely, they will prescribe drug containing calcium. Get the best and ask for how to administer and the proper dosage.

Make sure u use as prescribed so you don't overdose and face other problems.

Sad truth is, all won't recover, some won't recover fully but you can prevent death by aiding their feeding and drinking and administering proper vaccine.

Have a nice day.

Were they vaccinated? Could be due to calcium deficiency as well. Meet with a qualified Vet, to save some money, instead of trying all options provided here and to save the lives of your Chickens..

Sorry about this, but this is as a result of Calcium deficiency due to their weight.
They need more calcium.

tidalstorm:
@Op,
Which feed do you give them?
Change it ad it might be deficient in the esential minerals.

Do you give your chickens vitamins?
Vitamins have esential minerals including calcium and potasium

There is also this liquid calcium my vet gives me when brooding my chickens. Maybe you should look for it instead of the bone meal. It might be more expensive.

Lastly, you should ration the chickens food till they become normal. Chickens leg becomes deformed because there legs can't carry their weight. If food is rationed properly the weight won't be too much to carry.

Hope this helps. @ayoblinks
What's the name of the liquid calcium, please? How much is it sold?
