Hello! I am a first time bird owner with chicks, and overall i am having a wonderful time and all my chicks seem healthy, happy and are growing like weeds!
however, i am a little concerned about my white silkie. I feel compared to the other chicks her walk feels a little unusual but it's hard to tell if its just simply because she is a clumsy little orb of fluff while the other chicks have a day or 2 on her and are more chicken shaped/coordinated, or if her legs are wider set than they should be (or maybe her feet are off?) and should be corrected with a splayed-leg-style brace while she is still young (she is somewhere between 2-3 days old now).
below is the best video i could get + images of her front facing, but let me know if any other video angles or photos would be helpful and i will get them! Thanks so much for looking and im hoping im just being overly careful, but better safe than sorry.
