    Hen walking on hocks. Don't know what to do. Please help!

    Leg Problem!

    My 19 week old barred rock is having trouble with her left leg. She is eating and drinking normally but limping, laying down any chance she gets, and her tail is always facing down. When she walks, it's almost like she slaps her foot down. Also, the thumb( the short toe in the back- not sure if...
