I have a chick who’s leg looks strange to me. It eats, drinks, runs around. But this is the first time I’ve noticed this leg looking like this.

A bone deformity.. Described in the first portion of the following link..

Although not a broiler, this is where most information will come from so we still use reference material at times that is broiler focused for the purpose of general information that can still correlate relatively to a standard chicken..

Not one of my favorite resources but a simplified description..
http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition... leg deformity is a,often occurs in both legs.

Suggested course of action depend solely on keepers intent.

Hope it thrives for ya. :fl
