how old is she????

she is at egg laying age

 

[farmer macdonald123]

the twisted leg condition is referred to as "perosis" and is caused by a nutritional deficiency of a vitamin named "choline." This vitamin is important in the formation of cartilage that maintains the stability of the hock or ankle joint.


this only occurs in chicks so i am not of much help
