I have a BBW poult that was born 3-22. It now cannot stand straight up as tall as the others. It appears that it's legs bow outwards. It waddles, crossing foot over foot when it walks like a duck. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this if it can be fixed at all? She is a meat bird, and I'd like to keep her growing so long as it doesn't cause her any pain. She gets around and plays with the other poults, and tries to do other things that they do, but I'm concerned that they may just give out on her. When she gets to running, her feet really cross over one another like in the last picture. Any ideas?? The pictures aren't the greatest, but I hope it helps give you an idea of what is going on with her....
