chickens walking badly

[tomboy2014]

one of our baby silkies has trouble with its feet one foot 2 of her toes are together and walks on the side of her feet she cant walk well and isn't in pain but im worried about her and was wondering if anyone had any tips or have seen this in a chicken before and its both feet she walks on sideways idk if that's just because of her one foot or something is going on with her

From the sounds of it she would be in pain. They just don't show it like humans do. Only when the pain is agony will they begin to show it but normally animals tolerate extreme pain as silently as possible, as hiding it is a survival mechanism.

If you get 10 posts you can post some pics, and from those people can tell you for sure whether she needs putting down, or if she can be treated, and how to treat her.

Best wishes.
