In new babies splayed leg is a big issue, it when they cannot walk right and they're legs are basically doing the splits. Older hens may get bumble foot, its treatable via yourself or a vet, it is a minor foot infection in the bottom of the foot Pad. There are many diseases which I would recommend researching if it matter that much to you but chances are like me you will get a good batch of healthy chooks ^^
