I don't know - pretty limited info here as to what the vet was thinking about a bacterial infection. I don't think they drew any blood or took any tests. I'll ask her for a picture. Here's a link to a youtube video she posted:

She says that "shorty" has gotten worse since. Shorty is an indoor bird, kept very clean, and she had just been started on a high concentration of vitamins a couple of days ago. Turns out that a lot of people don't know that their medicated chick feed may not provide everything a little healthy bird needs. Her owner has just started feeding her wonderful treats like meal worms and bananas and is trying to give her every bit of love and attention that she can.

Thanks for being here.

It's tough. Even though it's not my bird I feel her pain... And I'm definitely going to be vaccinating EVERYONE just to help protect them. I have a lot of babies right now that I worry about and quite frankly with all of this MD talk going on I am scared.

Thanks for the support! I will send some love her way.

That's very kind of you.

I've had a couple of babies with spraddle leg - I assume due to some lazy mamas. Haven't had any come out of the 'bator with ballerina legs yet. I bought an assortment of tiny braid bands for them. I will stick a chick band on each leg, and start with the tiniest bands first and just hook them on the chick bands. Then in a couple of days when they seem to have their feet under them I upgrade to a slightly bigger braid band size.
Would take spraddle legs any day over MD! At least it can be fixed.

] knowledge of MD so she could give more info.....try PMing her so she sees the video in the AM tailfluff.....

Thanks!!!!

It's mystifying, isn't it? It really appears to be an injured leg. None of her hatch mates are sick or showing signs of anything abnormal.

Will definitely PM chicklette about it to see what she thinks... She is such a sweet lady. Her new fuzzies are darling.

Because she rocks back on the "good" leg I think it is more than just a straight forward injury. If one leg is injured they will stand on the other leg like normal and hip-hop around, use wings for balance etc. I have two that have injured them selves and one hen that has some sort of neurological issues of unknown origins [a rescue girl] and SHE walks more like the baby chick..... Hope that helps.....

Definitely a boy and a girl! I believe the boy will be a silver duckwing type or wheaton. The girl looks like a buff columbian. Their feathers will change dramaticly as they mature. It's hard to tell what the boy really is without being able to see chick pictures. Usually Wheaton babies are yellow, duckwings are striped.
That buff columbian girl looks very sweet. I call her a buff columbian loosely because if she has grey underfluff and her head and neck become a darker buff or red then she would be considered more of a wheaton type too.
