I have a five/six week old pekin/white layer who has weird legs. We just noticed it a few days ago. She almost looks normal when you look at her when she is all dry and feathered out, so here are some pictures of her while wet.
She is huge, it seems like her feet and legs are growing quicker than the rest of her. She lives with 3 other Pekin ducklings that are fine, lived under the same conditions, and eat the same food.
The other three constantly eat all the food before she gets a chance, and walk on top of her like she's a rug. She can barely stand, and can't get very far before falling over. I don't know what to do, or if it is my fault. Can someone help please? There is also some black crust under her right wing. I think it's because her pin feathers are rubbing on her skin too much because her legs made her wing go in between her legs and body.
