Legs turn outwards?

[NicInNC]

Maybe I'm just overanalzying my chickens legs, but in one of my banty hens, the lower part of her legs seem to turn in outwards. Sometimes she almost stumbles when she walks. What's going on with her?

Here is a picture and also a video link. In the video, it's the chicken closest to the camera.

I have a BO roo whose legs do the opposite--turn inwards! I'd love to hear what people think might be causing this! Is it a birth defect??? He didn't seem like he had this problem till a few weeks ago!

Poor Peepers was walking the other day and stumbled...that's when I noticed it.

I DID just find this:

when dealing with a chick with slipped tendons i did learn from the poultry orthopedist that their leg bones can grow twisted. i think if you catch it early you can splint. here is a link to his board http://www.voy.com/194762/ maybe he can help.

Could it just be bowlegs? Aka knocked knees. I have a pullet that her knees hit together and he feet turn ouward somewhat.
