Help..chicken limping

[Sunshine77]

Ahhhhh...our red sex link jumped down from too high and is now limping! What can we do?

When my rooster jumped down from too high and hurt his leg, he had a limp also. I put him in a crate at night and let him out in the morning for a few days. He healed pretty quickly and is fine now.
Make sure there are no broken bones, if there aren't, she should heal if she isn't too rough on it.

Best of luck!

As she said above, it could just be a slight muscle pull or something like that. Almost like when we twist our ankles while we're walking.
Feel his leg for abnormal bumps and swelling. If you can't find any, I would assume it'll heal up soon. If she isn't getting picked on you may not even have to separate her, although I would recommend it.

I locked my rooster in at night so he wouldn't try to perch up high until his leg healed.

Thankyou! We have isolated her, vitamins, good nutrition ...and hope she will heal.
