Sorry,....Just saw the reply, I didn't think anyone had answer me. I had really just started noticing it a few days prior to the post. It has gotten much worse, with the right leg being the worse. Both feet turn inwards and she has a difficult time with balance and she trips over her own toes...
I have a 5 week old chick and recently I have noticed him/her having trouble walking/balancing. It's legs have grown kind of bowed and her feet point in. She can move around but it's slow, fumbles and trips over her own feet. Is it too late for me to try and fix this problem and how would I go...
