I have an 11 week old Australorp that has been walking odd for the past week or two. Whenever it walks, it’s left leg(and sometimes the right too) swings outwards instead of tracking straight back and forth. It doesn’t seem in pain and gets around fine aside from looking odd. We’ve had her since she was a chick. She was one of nine and all the others are fine. She doesn’t seem like she’s getting picked on. She’s growing and eating fine. Manages to get to the roosting bar ok from what I’ve observed. I tried to get it on video, although I’m not sure how well you can tell in the video.
