Chicken all of a sudden limping

Some are better in days, others can be a few months. It just depends on the extent of the injury and whether it's from repetitive use like jumping off of a high roost. Most improve within a week or two generally though. Limit her movements if it doesn't look better within a week or so.


How should I limit her movements will she can still interact with all my other chickens and I have two different height of roosts and normally she choices the lower one.
 
A crate or separation pen. I personally would wait and see first as sometimes separating causes panicking which makes things worse and not better.
 
I dealt with a sprained ankle last year, I didn't separate her (that stressed her out more).
I just hid half of a baby aspirin in a raspberry and she devoured it :lol: I did this once a day until she healed. She began to improve in a few days, and was completely better in about two months :D
