I have a older RSL (~4-5 years) who has had a limp for 2 months. She applies light amounts of weight to it and everything seems to be in proper alignment. After a month of isolation, with no signs of recovery, she was reintroduced to the flock. It hasn't been a concern until a week ago when other flock members spotted the weakness and started to pick on her. She is currently back in isolation. I have ruled out bumble foot, mareks, worms, leg mites and nothing feels broken or dislocated. I have read every thread, every forum and nothing fits any description I have run across. She doesn't appear to be in any pain, and has been on and off tetracycline. She laid the occasional egg before the injury and I don't know if egg binding could still be a possibility at this point? She's maintained a healthy weight and is full of energy. She has not been wormed in the past year but I have inspected her droppings repeatedly and I can't spot anything. I really do not want to cull her as she seems to be in no pain but at this point she may be living the rest of her life in isolation, which is barely a life at all. Please reply,
Thanks
