Hi, my 15week old pullet wyndotte has got a severe limp she is fine on one leg but the other one she can hardly use she's walking on her elbow (where the feathers meet the scales on the leg). She doesnt appear to have bumble foot and after researching mareks i dont think it is that as she can use the other one and theres no other symptons (apart from green poo!!) i've taken her indoors now and bandaged the joint a little for support - anyone know how long this will take to heal or if i've done anything wrong?? could it just be a sprain or a strain?
