    Help! Very stiff legs in hen how to help!

    I've felt & looked her all over for swelling & such, can't find anything! Should I also give b12 or is the nutridench along with electrolytes enough? She also is getting chick feed both wet & dry along with 1 egg a day to help boost her, she eats fine just the stiff legs seems to be an issue now
