I used to show dogs and I know in some breeds there was a prevalence of "slipped stifles," - they used to hop like a bunny rabbit if forced to keep moving. But they would slip in and out of the joint and the dog could still get around. I assume if it was severe enough they would be put down. But, I knew of many champions (I used to work for a dog handler) that had bad slips in both hind legs. It generally wasn't crippling like hip dysplasia .

I don't know if this relates to chickens at all. To be frank I never thought about them having hocks period.
 
Good news!!!! We manipulated her leg without too much stress and she's now in a splint. Eating up a storm do fingers crossed it works!!!!
