Subject: Leg Twisting Author: Crystal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:17:52 08/18/06 Fri I have a little IB that is just over a month old and I noticed it's right leg will twist so the foot is sideways or at the most extreme almost turned backwards. Yet the leg/foot does not stay this way - almost like the joint is hyper-extended? This chick did not hatch this way. What could be wrong and how can I treat it? Thanks [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Sometimes this can be repaired. But I have a peahen named Crazy Legs who manages to walk around on her very strangely bent legs. Most peafowls with this will end up down and flopping. I hope that we can get yours repaired. The materials that you will need are sponge and tape. Can you e-mail a photo (close up of peachick legs)? townsend@pineland.net
