I just got a hen a few weeks ago, a white leghorn, Easter egger cross. She is a year old. She seemed fine the first couple weeks, at the top of the pecking order, but then started getting more mellow and fell to the bottom of the pecking order. She wasn't rushing out when we opened the gate for free range like the other hens did and wasn't rushing over for treats like she used to. A couple days ago, I saw that a couple toes were curled under and she was having a hard time walking, using her wings to balance. Today, she is having much more difficulty and most of her toes are curling in when she walks. I can't see anything else wrong with her, and all the other chickens are fine. She eats organic layer crumbles. What is this and what can I do for her?
