I noticed my 8 week old pullet was limping today. Her right leg hyper extends forward, seems like a joint on her thigh is injured. I’m not sure if it’s a deformity or an injury from earlier. She still gets around and eats but is there anything I can do? I’m not sure isolating her will do much since it’s an old injury.
Thank you for any help
