Hi guys.

I've noticed over the past week that one of my litte frizzle x silkies seems to have developed bowed legs and his(looks like a ckl :shock: ) feet seem to turn in like hes pigeon towed. He walks a little funny but i think its due to his feet standing on each other we he walks..

Any suggestions on what could cause it and if i can do anything to fix it?

Cheers

I'm about to read it now Peter.. :-D

Hes almost 4 weeks old now, weight seems really good not skinny or overwieght by looks of him and is eating and drinking really well, i feed them medicated chick starter.. I've had him since he was 3 days old and was hatched under a broody, its one of the ones in my gallery pics hes the brown one, the other 2 seem to have normal legs. I'll try take a photo today and post in the gallery so you can see... Maybe it is what you would call splayed legs Ian? I've only used the term bowed as that what it looks like... Its only been the last week i've really noticed its happend, am pretty sure they weren't like it before that.. :-?
