Leg or foot problem video

Super new on how to post lol Above is a clip of one of my babies with a leg or foot problem. I posted it in the emergency topic section. i had to post to twitter to get one here. Maybe if you get a chace to watch it and have any advice. He or she is so beautiful but Im confused on instruments on splayed leg if that is what it is and a little panicked to be honest. thanks. Shannon

You can teach your chickens agility moves. It's fun to do and watch.

I did build them a ladder last night. lol Used my miter saw for the first time.

What dog sports do you do? I love dog sports!

Beach swimming, Dock Diving and just started a fly ball class. We are just beginning. Oh a little agility in the back yard. he is very motivated on scent and rat/gopher tracking. Have only done fun stuff. No real competitions.

That’s awesome! I’ll have to see if I can find something similar. And we do the same on walks. He goes where he wants. Within reason lol
