CHICKEN LIMPING!!!!

[juliaschickens]

I have an isa brown hen that I noticed was limping when I let her out today. She’s 12 months old, a year in March. The ground where I let them roam was extremely icy and they did tend to slip on it. She also had been laying on some eggs for a while for im hoping she was limping from sitting a while. I didn’t see any cuts. I don’t think it’s bumble foot? Or at least it didn’t look like it. These are my first my chickens so I’m obviously inexperienced. Can someone please help??? I’m super worried

Post pictures of her feet and legs. Top and bottom. That will help determine bumblefoot or other issues. It could be she pulled something slipping on ice. Or got a little stiff sitting. Post pictures and go from there.

Get someone to help hold her and examine feet, legs, hips to make sure there's no obvious injury and both lower limbs are symmetrical. If the exam is negative, and she is getting around, eating and drinking normally, then I would watch and see how she does.

One of my pullets got a muscle strain this past fall and was limping , it took her several days to recover, but all did resolve.

Here are some pictures. It won’t let me load videos. It’s the right leg she’s limping on

Did you feel the bones well and all are ok, and look closely at the bottom of her feet. If so, just watch a few days.
