Yesterday we noticed our Easter Egger chick limping - no obvious sign of injury, leg mites, bumblefoot, etc. Both legs/feet look the same so I’m assuming she hurt it either jumping down or was trampled?

She’s currently isolated in a dog crate inside the larger run. We’ve only been chicken people for just over a year and have never dealt with any diseases or injuries, praise the Lord, but I’m at a loss of what I can do/give her.

She has been eating, drinking, and pooping as normal, and before I separated her she was hobbling around keeping up with the other little chicks.

It may just be a little thing that takes a few days to heal. Do you have roosts?
We do have several roosts.
Unfortunately the leader of their crew is a little sebright and they all try to keep up with her acrobatics 🤦🏽‍♀️
