I'm sorry Daniel. Not sure what's going on with that. Did you hatch this chick yourself? Has he always been like this or is it a new problem?

Spraddle leg?

 

[Daniel_2kaii9]

i only seen him like this today

yeah i hatched him myself

Sounds like maybe a slipped tendon (I think that is what it's called). Can you straighten the leg and splint it? Maybe that will help.

Is his little bum losing feathers?

One of mine was walking like that for a couple of weeks and now all her fluff is gone from around her vent to her legs... But she seems happy ad healthy. Same for you?

I think if thats the case, probably just a little weak on his legs. Mines getting stronger now x
