Is there a farm or feed supply other that TSC around you?
I have a few as I'm in the rural beef country. I started my chicken addiction from a local feed store....if I can wait 5 days I can almost pick anything I want.
Someone else may have a much better handle on that but I have seen sprains that have produced some stiffness but not like as you describe.
If it's moving I would definitely isolate her for at least a few days.
Watch your remaining chickens for signs of anything odd.
Be careful not to overreact...
Ehhh, I'm not too sure about the Bantam part.
I really don't see TSC with anything exotic, at least mine doesn't during "Chick days"
Our first chickens included Silver Laced Wyandottes and both looked really close @ months old.
My goodness! I took a bunch of time off (they wired me back together too) and first thing is this wonderfully written introduction..."oh! I just gotta read the rest of this! It's only seventeen hundr...wha?!

On a humorous note, my country born wife and I were going on vacation in Tampa/St. Petersburg area (my home town is Tampa) and she asked what we could do there? I said "I know, I'll take you to the Dali museum" ...
She looked dead at me and said " in all the time you've known me, what in the...
Oooooh! Those little critters would have a complex in my runs. My 4 month old girls, Snowball and Blizzard are probably tipping 5 lbs. now.
I recently lost their roo to a neighborhood dog and have to settle for a buff roo. The breeder told me no light roos until year end.
The other run is...
I'm on my first attempt to intentionally cross breed my buff Polish rooster with my Easter eggers ...Why?
I'm a fan of Salvador Dali. I think the coolest thing would be to have a chicken with a freaked out head dress and a mustache.
Heh, heh , heh...we have a "regular chicken" run and I have my monster experiment in the other. Brahmas and Jersey Giants, I cook a very high protien diet, they all drink filtered and treated water....my wife keeps swearing I'm going to put an addition on the house with a roof that opens. Our...
