    Very Slight Limp

    While free-ranging today, I notice my big, 1.5 y/o BO, Glory, seems to be sticking close to the run areas. I then swore I saw a slight limp.

    Hen not putting weight on legs.

    I have a 2-month-old white leghorn hen who is not putting any weight on her legs. It started about a week ago, when I noticed she was not putting weight on one leg. I brought her inside to watch her. I ruled out bumble foot since I see no evidence. My next thought was a possible injury, and I...

    Not sure what my young polish hen did to her leg, just noticed her limping last night. Washed it last night and some scales came off, and swelling extends to her foot. I put some red scarlet oil and honey on it. She won’t put weight on it at all today, although she’s in a dog crate so there’s...
