I have 7 Pekins and one of my females is having an issue with her feet that I don’t really know how to explain. She can’t walk almost at all, and I feel terrible. She’s complete alert and struggles heavily but can get up enough to walk away from me. She’s not lethargic at all and actually still swims great. I made a pool for them about 1 foot and a half deep and she swam from one end to the other perfectly. But when she’s on land her toes almost curl completely over. Like a hand holding onto a stick. She basically trying to walk on the tops of her feet. There are some sores but they looks “fresher” so I think it’s from the way she’s walking. I noticed a limp a little over a week back but it wasn’t this bad and I just tried giving them more peas and minnows and more time in the pool since the weather is nice now, but it just seems to be getting worse. I have some pictures but I’m sorry they’re not great, she was fussy about being a model for me. I also have a picture of how she lays, her wings stay drooped. And the entire rest of her let above the webbing looks totally ok. I have to try to get a picture of video of her walking but she’s not in a good mood given the circumstances. Thank you in advance
