Spraddle leg is what happens when tendons slip off the joint. It can be at the hock or hip. It causes the legs to go in the wrong direction. It is a vitamin deficiency. Just keep vitamins in the water and you may head it off before it happens.

And while some may "Those aren't meaties!" I beg to differ. I eat ALL my chickens

 

[JRNash]

Not the ones that lay eggs... Unless I start daydreaming of gumbo,dumplings or chicken spaghetti

Might be a stray Malay or Saipan in there too..
