Hen is 5 months old. I noticed her limping this morning. She was fine yesterday. Still eating and active, seems normal other than the limp. Also able to “run” to keep up with the flock when free ranging. I checked for any external injuries but did not find anything — legs and feet all look normal and healthy.

Could it be a sprain? If so, do I have to intervene or will she gradually get better? (Sometimes they try to run on the smooth concreted patio and I do see them slip and fall occasionally).
