    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    That was the last thing I said to her, "when I see you next, tell me if I was right or wrong."

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    I talked to a bird specialist and his suspicion was she had been bit by a brown recluse or black widow which live here too which would explain the semi paralysis and perhaps the slow devolution of her appetite.

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    Well, I had to put her down. 12 days, no recovery at all, almost like her legs were semi paralyzed the whole time, continued to lay on her side, which meant her poop couldn't pass past her feathers which brought the attention of flies which brought maggots.

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    A vet does not appear to be an option, either totally booked or don't see chickens. I am going to check with the wildlife rescue. Have you seen recovery from such an injury?

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    Their area is an incline and they can fly a good distance down it. If this is the case, is this something a hen can recover from?

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    She is not showing distress when I manipulate her legs. The suddenness of this is what confounds me. Does her right foot look like bumblefoot to you? Its almost like her hip is dislocated. Could a rooster do that?

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    I have a lame hen and can not figure out the problem.

    All chickens were fine when I let them out in the morning. Then in the afternoon I noticed a hen that couldn't stand and was hobbling around. It appeared she was favoring the left leg so I examined her right leg and the pad is a bit swollen so I cleaned both feet and soaked in Epsom salts...
