    Bah! Crooked Feet

    So my pekings are 10 weeks old, and they still have leg issues. Both have a crooked right leg and slipped tendon. I've given Flock raiser feed and 1Tbs brewers yeast per 1/2 gal of water since they were born. Is there anything else that can be done, or are they destined to hobble around...
