My 5 week old gold sex link looks normal in every way, eating normal, pooping normal, feet look normal.
However, she keeps walking on her own feet and tripping. I can tell she is sitting as much as possible to avoid it having to walk. It doesn't look painful, just annoying for her.
Is she just going through a lanky growth spurt and learning how to figure her self out or is this a bigger issue?
Any help would be appreciated!

I have a Polish - 4 weeks old - with the same problem. She looks like she is stepping on her own feet and tripping. She, also, sits a lot. I removed her from the rest because the others were stepping on her.
 
Mine quite after 2-3 days, I guess it was just an awkward phase! Hopefully for yours too!
