Limpin' chicken.

[lindseythefork]

Has anyone else had any of their hens come down with a sudden limp? She's fine in every other way.. she just limps or hops to where she wants to go and usually ends up plopping down on the ground to peck the area around her. Still eating, drinking, laying eggs.. my husband and I looked at her and we can't see anything out of the ordinary, so we're thinking she managed to sprain it somehow.

That happened to one of my hens once. I checked her over very well, couldn't find anything obviously wrong with her. No bumblefoot, nothing. She limped around for a few days and then she recovered and started walking just fine.

I hope it works out that way for your bird.
