The leg looks to be at a funny angle. Am I seeing it correctly?

Are there any swellings or heated spots in the leg? Does it bend normally, etc? You might PM Glenda Heywood about poultry orthopedics. They might be indicated in this case. Or dlhunicorn.

Do you have a picture at a couple of different angles possibly?

Also could you answer the questions in the second sticky of this section of the forums - feeding info, etc? That way whoever answers your questions from this point on will be able to do so more accurately, including myself.

Thank you kindly! I'm sure everyone will do their best if you can help us out a tiny bit.
