    Help! My chicken's leg is twisted.

    This is how my girl walks with it and she now puts it under her when she sits down. Thank goodness. I thought maybe this could be Marek's disease, but she has been healthy for a month since this leg just appeared messed up one evening. Sorry for bad pics but I shot them out my kitchen window...

    Help! My chicken's leg is twisted.

    Our precious Bébé's leg is twisting outwards. I will attach a video showing what it looks like, and how she moves. It wasn't like this when she was a chick. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, and it seemed to all change in the matter of a day or two. There was nothing traumatic that happened...
