Chickie is CROSSLEGGED

[Jacy]

I have a 7 chickens, one's name is china and it can't stand up. she tips over easily and can't balance very well. its legs are crossed over each other and they cross back together after i straighten them out.

she's almost 2 months old, and she's been like this for two weeks. she broke her leg 4 weeks ago but got better, but now she's like this.

please tell me how to fix her legs so she can join her brethren in their new home we built for them in the backyard!!!

Jacy,

Hello!

I'm sorry, but I dont have much help for you. Hopefully someone will know how to help! If you can upload pictures, this will let us see firsthand on what problem were dealing with.

It's probably a slipped tendon. All you can do is splint the legs and hope it repairs
itself.

Please keep it in perspective. My gut reaction when I read your post was "cull"
but I don't have enough info or even a pic to make that judgement.
