Chicken hopping on one leg

[jamieg]

One of my chickens began hopping on one leg yesterday. I have looked at the bottom of her feet and don't see anything wrong? Not cuts or anything obvious to me. Any ideas on what to do? She hasn't been free ranging much with the others and I will be isolating her from the others. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sometimes they will get a bruise just like us. Frolicking around may sprain a muscle, If after a few days this dose not get better. keep her from movement by confining her to a smaller area. I hope she gets well soon!

My chicken hops before she lays!! At first I was concerned but after the egg came out she was all better
