Redchecker, I'm just saying that Vit B and Niacin will often turn around a young bird of just about any type that is having leg related problems. You can do the Brewers Yeast along with the calcium. I'd give the supplements for 7-10 days and see if there is improvement. Also, in case you might not be aware, natural sunlight is necessary for birds in order to properly absorb things like the calcium (and vitamin D3 which you should also be giving unless it is already in with the calcium), vitamins, and even the nutrition in their food. Sunlight through a window won't do .. it needs to be natural or light from a very good quality full spectrum light .. sunshine is lots easier and works best.
