Pigeon Toed chicken?

[Cryss]

Not an emergency but a concern. Is this a problem? Other 3 pullets toes are straight. I couldn't get a pic so I resorted to a vid.
She has always been clumsy, won't roost or use ladder. Eats, drinks, poops well. Crop always looks large, much smaller in the morning. Feeding purina medicated start and grow, recently started vutamins in water. About 11 weeks old.
Thoughts? Is this a problem?

Although it may hinder her a bit, she shouldn't have trouble. Either she will one day roost, or won't. It won't affect her laying ability unless the others begin to bully her.
I have one hen who is neurogically damaged, yet still roosts as per normal (she holds her head upside down nearly all the time), lays, eats, etc. I have one crooked toe chick who does just fine, and a hen with only half a toe, and she manages well even when roosting.

I would be concerned that she may have a leg bone deformity such as various values deformity. those can get worse with age sometimes causing the hock tendon to rupture, but it can cause an odd gait. Some may look bow legged or have knock knees, and it can sometimes only affect one leg.

Other possibilities could be aa vitamin or mineral deficiency, an injury to a leg or hip, and unfortunately Marked disease can cause weakness or paralysis of one or both legs. Mareks can start out with imbalance and mild walking problems and get worse.

Time will tell. In the meantime, I would get some Poultry Cell at your feed store and give 2-3 ml daily orally or in a treat. You may want to Google "leg bone deformities in chickens," or "varus valgus deformity in poultry."

The local supply store had durvet vitamins which I bought a few days ago. Its a granual you mix a tiny scoop (scoop provided) into a gallon of water. Is this ok or is the Poultry Cell more specific?

I had hubby take a few pics of Repeccas feet. She really is quite pigeon toed! She doesn't roost without help, has difficulty going down the ramp (almost a slide), and isn't very fast. Often she is by herself. I'm starting to place her on the roost at night to hopefully avoid her becoming a walking poopcicle and to maybe teach her how.
