That's good to know. I will be sure to move her to a place where she can see them. She only has two other coop mates and to be honest know she would be perfectly safe having them around. When she first began limping the other two chickens began pacing back and forth "checking" on her often...

Thanks 1livelychick. That helps. She does have movement in her leg and foot and does wrap her toes around my finger so does that indicate that it is NOT a slipped tendon? I had already removed her from the others and she is getting babied in the house. Do you think it would be worth placing...
