    Lame foot? Walking with foot curled up, on ankle

    From the Merck manual link: As eggs become deficient in riboflavin, the egg albumen loses its characteristic yellow color. In fact, albumen color score has been used to assess riboflavin status of birds. Come to think of it, I noticed an egg with a very pale yellow center yesterday. So...

    Just noticed yesterday one of our 34 wk. old Barred Rock pullets is limping. She's walking on the affected ankle with the foot curled up underneath it.

    Are my Lavender Orpingtons Pullets?

    Here they are at 12 weeks old. One of the roosters started to crow this morning and the larger hen is clucking now. They just joined the big Barred Rocks in the coop today.
