Sitting with leg out?

[Dirtybird211]

Hello there I have been reading a lot about splayed legs and wanted to makes sure this wasn't a warning sign. My ducks are 2-3 weeks old they are all very balanced and walk/run fine. They have even getting brewers yeast in there crumble since I got them. But when they are sitting or laying i noticed some of them like to have 1 leg stretched out behind them. Should I be worried about this behavior? Or do I need to try and correct it?


Thanks for any advice. I'll try and attach a pic of it later when I get home.

It's very normal for them to lay with their legs stretched out behind them. I think it's adorable..
Love to see some pictures of your littles.

Hi and ! Completely normal and absolutely adorable to see. If it was out to the side, I'd worry more.

I know you have ducks, and my photo below is of chickens, but something like this? It's normal! They're just enjoying sunshine and relaxation:

Yup thats exactly what they look like. I'm glad to hear they are just relaxing. All the splayed talk was getting me worried!
