Ex Bat limping

[emmafisher]

Hi,I'm a novice hen keeper and am hoping someone can advise me. We got 2 ex bats 5 days ago. After keeping them in their own hutch for 2 days, I let them out in the garden for a few hours every day. Everything was fine, but when I got them out today, 1 is limping a lot, holding her foot up when she's stood still. There is no obvious sign of injury and they haven't been seen trying to sort out their pecking order. Anyone know what's going on?

Battery hens have a lot of leg issues from confinement and being fed and housed for extreme egg production.
She should recover. Make sure she gets real good nutrition. Maybe a supplement like calf manna.
