Whats wrong with this chicks legs?!

[Aunt Angus]

Almost looks like my silver leghorns leg was as a chick. Her foot couldn't stand flat until she got too heavy and had to use it properly.

Now she looks normal, but has broken toes on that foot

That's fascinating!

That's fascinating!

It is in hindsight. Watching her run, you'd never know her issue, but for the first 3 weeks or so, I honestly was always waiting for her to go down and not get up. She walked like her leg was raw nerves and inflexible at the same time until she was too heavy and broke the bones in her toes. Then she walked normal

Huh. I've never heard anything like that before. I'm assuming her toes healed but are still crooked, then?

How old is she? What breed? Not looking to offer advice or anything. I'm just so curious.

Yeah, her front toes on the one foot are still broken but healed into the crooked shape. She was from April last year, so about 14 months now. Smaller than I'd like, but think that's more genetics since her sister was small too. She's a silver leghorn

Probably a good thing she's a relarively small breed, too.

Thanks for sharing!
