4 year old Limp legged hen

[jwoodall]

one of my 2 americauna hens has a limp leg. Can't walk on it. After examining (the best I know how) I do not see any damage or reason why she cannot walk. She attempted to hop to me when I brought her treats and then again to get away when she realized I wanted to catch her. My other hen seems a little misplaced about it because the "hurt" one was her leader!!! ANY ideas or suggestions?

My hens used to limp evey now and again because their nests were too high. They hit the floor hard, and then sometimes their feet got shocked, resulting in a limp. Maybe the nests, or something else she could have got on has made her limp? Or she has bumblefoot, which is a black scab on her foot. Could be one of those...

Hope your little leader gets better, and don't forget the vitamins, minerals, like calcium!
