Chicken Limping

My hen wont put her weight on her left foot.... We cant fing anything wrong... My mom said the rooster might have tried to mate and hert her?

So why not splint it away with a couple 2 or 3 Q-tips and take weight off it. Just bc you cant see it doesn't mean its not a muscle or you can see it it might be under the skin. Wrap it with soft tape for a week and see if that helps. Better than doing nothing and may fix whatever it may have been. Good luck.
