Did your cignet have this deformity when you obtained them or is this a recent confirmation? Niacin deficiency is usually the reason for such deformities.

Thanks for joining our community!

Hello, Danielle, and welcome to BYC. As others have suggested, I would provide vitamin supplementation especially Niacin.

She had this deformity when I obtained her so it's not recent. I've heard vitamins and nutrition could have played a role in this. Does tractor supply sell niacin supplements or something I can put in her water? Thank you for your input.
