cochins have feathered legs, so it is not one of those. Sorry about his leg off to the side. I have one like that too. It was not like that, then I put them in with bigger chicks because i was cleaning out their brooder and he got stepped or jumped on and his leg got messed up. I am leaving him because he seems to be getting around okay, but he may be culled soon if he slows in development and lags behind the rest. It is possible he was like that before and I just didn't notice, but it seems to have really become a problem for him two days ago after mixing batches of chicks. I just didn't realize how much bigger those other chicks were until it was too late.
