Hello all, recently I went to go check on my orpington hen and I realized one of her legs were not functioning as well. She was walking and would almost look as if she's tripping and has a lot of trouble using the other leg. She's often losing her balance so she'd fall when jumping off a small height and can hardly move, not being able to use the leg at all. Because of this, she also has become less active and prefers to sit down most of the time, she seems to be eating and drinking about the same and in fact just laid an egg just yesterday. I have tried my best to inspect the leg and it doesn't seem there's any wounds or anything, in fact it looks quite the same to her other functioning leg but then again I am not the best of observers. I'm worried that she might have broken her leg somehow, and if it is broken, should we take her to the vet or hope it can heal by itself?
Thanks again guys.
Thanks again guys.
