Hello everyone. I have 3 Indian Runner hens and 1 drake, and the drake is limping again. The first time was a week or 2 ago, and after a few days (3 or 4?) he was better. Now he is doing it again. The girls are all fine, so are my chickens.
The first time I noticed him limping when I came out in the morning, he didn't want to use his leg at all. His foot was curled a bit too, and I thought one of the toes looked odd. I looked over him - no obvious injuries or breaks. I locked the ducks up for the day with their pool. He got back to normal over the next few days.
About 2 or 3 days ago it happened again! Same leg. He is improving again but is there something I should do? They got brewers yeast when they where young, they range in my large yard all day, they have a large kiddie pool to swim in. They are 4 or 5 months old. He acts normal other than his leg.
Thanks,
Amy
