    Chicken with crooked leg

    I just noticed that one of my young chickens has some sort of leg injury or deformity. I have no idea how it happened or how long it's been like that. It doesn't seem to cause her pain, and it seems like she's figured out how to walk on it. What's wrong with her leg, and what can I do to help her?

    Not sure if it's Splayed leg or slipped tendon

    Baby is 4 days old now. Not sure if it's splayed leg or not. Any input please. She will drink if I hold her up. She ate a little scrambled egg. She moves around on her side using her good leg.

    Mail order chick arrived sick and splayed

    The worst possible outcome other than dead chicks in the mail... I mail ordered a small batch of chicks to pad my hatched batch (only 4 hatched; I ordered 8 more). 7 were exuberant and healthy. One was splayed and sickly. It made me sad but the complicating factor is my 11 y.o. daughter...
