Hello!
Roughly three days ago I noticed one of our chickens was limping, crawling, and falling around.
I quickly removed her from the others in the coop and thoroughly looked her over. I did not see any obvious injuries so I placed her alone in a separate coop. Today she is doing slightly better but still will not fully stand.
This morning I noticed another hen, different breed acting very similar. I removed her also and placed her in the coop with the other chicken. I just went back to check on them and the one from today will not stand. She lets you hold her without a care in the world. I did notice she is sitting with her butt elevated.
I tried to feel around on both to see if they were egg bound and did not feel anything. All of my hens just began laying in the past 3 weeks and neither of these two have laid since I separated them.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
