Chicken that is limping pretty bad

[ginnylea]

I have a white rock she is about 5 months old. About 4 days ago she started limping badly on her right leg I pick her up and couldn't fine any punctures or sores any where. She won't put much weight on it. I really don't have any ideal what is wrong it really is starting to worry me. Could someone help me please.

she might be a target for other hens, so watch them, as for the limping, since there are no visible wounds, she might have broken a leg, or just pulled something. I would say just to watch her and that it might heal on its own..

Good Luck! Tessa

Thanks I went ahead and separated her today so they wouldn't start picking on her. Thank you for getting back to me I really hope your right, Oh by the way I have a 16yr. old granddaughter named Tessa just thought I would tell you that.
