Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

[Paaz1120]

So I'm back to talk about Ruthie My New Delaware.
Well we thought that the problem was her toes being Curled
But last night when we were really watching how she walks we noticed her Left Leg turns out. It looks like it is with her hip.
We she walks it looks so weird and WRONG! But it doesnt bother her.
Would Anybody know what this would be from. We were told she was born like that.

Below is a quick picture. I will try to get a video to show you how she walks. But you can See how her leg is.
It looks like she is being prissy and flipping her hip when she stands, but that is how it is ALL the time. when she turns
it looks soo bad. Any Advice? She is our Special Girl and will just be spoiled.

thanks i appreciate the help. i knew if she was a delaware, she was way off on the color pattern, but i couldn't figure it out. i think you guys are right on with the splash andalusian. so i'm sad now that the others died, i really like her dalmation look. she is only 2 months old so no eggs yet. i'm positive she isn't ee despite the gray legs - wrong comb, wrong body size, doesn't act like my ee's at all. it's possible but i think the andalusian is more likely, especially as i have a blue andalusian from the same order that i also couldn't figure out until some good suggestions today.

apologies for posting a non-delaware to the thread, like i said it was the closest breed i could think of. thanks all!

YES! Harriet was still in the nest when I returned from my wonderful time at Cynthia's so I slipped 5 Dellie eggs under her and stuffed bowls of food and water in front of her - she is totally glazed over and into it- she murmured a little when I switched the eggs out, but that is all that happened.
The only problem is, the nest is on top of a bale of hay, with other bales stacked around her- not the safest place for chicks if she sticks with it, so I will have to get creative tomorrow-

Paaz...Ruthie's leg is damaged, deformed or previously injured at the hip, it may not be outwardly affecting her or bothering her but I would watch for swelling, color changes or limping more/ No breeding for her. A rooster mounting her could cause pain or further damage.

Her toenails need to be filed which may help her with her toes.
