Chicken coop
I have a 2 month old polish pullet that is limping! Yesterday was the first time I noticed it.I have 3 other chicks that are her age.She was just sitting around while her friends were walking around.Last night instead of putting her out in the chicken coop with the big chickens,I put her and one of her friends in a box in my house.She was doing about the same this morning,none worse,none better.He only symptoms are sitting around a lot, and limping. I already looked at her foot,I did not see anything wrong.What could be wrong with her? And also,she seems to have lost her appetite, but she is still drinking water.
 
Could be she got injured and her leg is sore.
Could be she has Coccidiosis too.
Is taking her poop to get tested an option?
 
Thank you for your suggestions. It would be hard to get her poop tested,because I have 4 chicks all in one group,and she would get very lonely on her own. It is an option,but something else would be much easier. I hope is it just an injury and it will heal.Would she have runny poop, if she had Coccidiosis?
 
"sitting around a lot and not eating" part could be Coccidiosis.
BUT it could be because she is in pain from an injury too???

She seems to be in pain from an injury. She does not like to move. But sometimes she will move her sitting place.
 
Maybe keeping her confined and away from the others for a while might be good..so she can rest and not get re injured?
Is she at least drinking?
I am having a hard time believing that an injury is causing her to not eat.
 
I have a 5 hens 1 rooster and I just go 2 silver laced Wyandotte's and 1 Americana the Americana is in a smaller cage right now because my chickens bullied an flocked my other Wyandotte's, they are hiding in the woods right now and I don't know what to do!! My poor Wyandotte's, why would the chickens attack them? They seem ok with the 2 month old Americana can someone tell me what in should do?
