Chick with leg issues/is there a chance it can adapt?
I've previously posted about a chick I brought home with leg issues. It turned out to be a slipped tendon and despite my best efforts it could not be corrected. However, she is now almost a year old and aside from her messed up leg she is overall a healthy and happy chicken. She lays eggs, roams...- Nikkieschultz

Drake having trouble with his legs
Hello! A couple years ago we rescued two jumbo pekins off of the river, a duck and a drake. The drake had a leg injury when we caught him and his ankle was swollen but his hips were alright. Neither had good health, obviously, so we spent a while just giving them all the peas they could eat... -
Chick with leg issue
I have this satin silkie chick that hatched under a broody hen yesterday and it’s unable to walk or stand. I brought it inside and gave it egg yolk as it clearly hadn’t eaten yet.

Quail walking on hocks?
One of my female coturnix seems to be walking only on her hocks for some reason. She eats, drinks, lays eggs and everything just fine. She has always walked in a crouch position (not all the way down to the floor just walked in a lower stance than the other) around the cage but I didn't think... -
Chick not using legs
Chick a friend received (saved?) from a breeder today is not using its legs. Going to administer a vitamin B supplement, and scrambled eggs. This doesn't look like spraddle leg; looks to be pigeon toed and not trying to use its legs. Any help would be appreciated! It is a little awkward, as I...- GoatDragonFarms

HELP! Sick 3 month old Buff Orpington. Is this vitamin deficiency, Marek's or Wry Neck???
Yesterday morning, Blondie, my 3 month old Buff Orpington, wouldn't come out of the coop. She was acting lethargic so I immediately brought her inside and gave her some electrolytes in water. She then started getting really droopy, very tired and wouldn't eat or drink. I posted a video to a FB...- _chickengirl1

Duckling can't walk, How do I rehab them?
So I recently hatched 6 ducklings and for the first 3 weeks they've been fine, however recently one of the ducklings hasn't been able to walk. Her legs are splaying out slightly and she is otherwise healthy and eating/drinking as normal. When she wants to move around she'll sort of shove herself...
