Chen with a hurt leg

[Coffee girl]

I have a hen who cannot stand on one of her legs. She falls down if she tries. She cannot extend it fully, it is not swollen but doesn't like pressure on the knee area.
Any suggestions to what I can try?

How old is she?
How long has she been limping and when did you last bring any new bird home/add to your flock?

She is 5, she had been limping for about a week, we separated her from the other chickens but now she just hops or falls down. I put her in a smaller area, close to food and water but she just lays, doesn't like to get up. I do not think it is broke but not sure what I should be doing for her...

Have you recently brought home any new birds?
What exactly have you been feeding her?

No, no new birds, and I feed payback layer feed.

Thanks. Do you feed any treats?


Can you take a video of her trying to walk and upload it to Youtube?

Were your birds vacinated for Marek's disease?

Table scraps that are appropriate for chickens, do you have possibly a treatment to try?

When was her last egg?

Can you post photos of her and her poop?

I'd place her near food/water. You can give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily to see if that helps.

Hard to know why she's suddenly unable to stand. Have you added any new birds recently?

I will do a b complex, and I am going to make up a comfrey paste and put on the knee area. Thanks for your help!
