Chicken all of a sudden limping

[autumnbee17]

My chicken all of a sudden start to limp and she acts like it does not hurt her but I do not know what’s wrong so I can fix it for her. What could it possibly be? And if there is something I can do it fix. Also it looks like it’s her right side of how she is limping.

More information is needed. Age of bird, perhaps pictures.

She’s an Easter Egger and she about 4 years old.

It's possibly a strain or sprain. I would check the bottom of her feet for sores. Otherwise if it's strained it should improve with time.

Could possibly be bumblefoot, check the bottom of her foot and her toes for any sores.

Sorry, @oldhenlikesdogs, posted that as soon as you did I agree, though. I've dealt with my fair share of sprains, and they heal on their own before long

I check the bottom of both her feet and it’s as normal as they can be.

Nothing there and I put a little pressure to see if she gets uncomfortable and she was fine with it.

How long do they general take to heal up?

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.
