It could be mareks disease! (MDV) its a paralysis, caused by a herpes virus, its really contagious to the rest of the herd! It can also be a lack of vitamin D or calcium! Try to give them vitamins and if it isnt fixed, it might unfortunetly be MDV, have Never gotten it in our herd, but i dont know what to do then, maybe they all need to be processed….🙁 But if they are fine the day after I have no idea…

Nothing you are doing wrong, it happens in broilers. That’s why many have been trying other breeds. It’s poor genetics. Bred to stay in cages and never move.

I’ve experienced this before and to my understanding it is an issue with the Cornish where the body weight grows more quickly than their legs can handle. Never happened to any other breeds we have raised and that includes the alternative meat chicken, the freedom ranger.

Saving grace :
Maybe it’s just from when you move their enclosure around the pasture? They get their legs accidentally caught sometimes….thats what I think when I see you move it right🤷‍♀️

nope it's a growth hormone. I think it's in feed? or it might be that breed I can't remember but the best way to make it stop is to stop breeding them.

That’s from the feed lacking calcium and vitamin D3.

I think its literally just to do with their genetics they grow so fast so quick that their bones and body quite literally just break
