Hi, my silkie Chick-ira has something wrong. She’s 8 weeks old. Walking like she’s either drunk or has an injured leg. She doesn’t flinch or complain when I touch the leg though. Any ideas? They are still on medicated chick starter (finishing the bag). Side note does her red comb indicate she is a he? She defiantly does not have any rooster posturing.

That’s a cockerel. And not pure either.

Does he show any other signs of illness, like acting lethargic?
