Leg/hip problem with peachicks

I am very sorry, but I think your chicks have perosis.

Poor thing. I'll tag @casportpony , in case she didn't see your reply.

It does look like it might be a slipped tendon, or possibly a varus-valgus deformity, both being hard/impossible to treat at home, especially once they age, the bones become more set, harder to correct via an external coaptation device. There are surgeries that can be done for this, so if you have an avian vet nearby, it may be worth contacting them and ask.

Thank you for the information. Looks like I need to euthanize these peacocks. So sad.
