My hen Bertha started walking like this yesterday morning. Friday she was fine. My daughter said she noticed she was a little off Friday evening. I thought maybe egg bound. Bathed, checked her. Nothing. I checked her feet saw that she had a mild case of bumble foot and treated, bandaged both her feet. She I secluded her for the night. I thought maybe muscular and gave her a minute dose of Aspirin. I've googled and searched. She otherwise looks healthy and is eating, drinking and laying as before. How about worms? Help please. Can someone please explain how to download a video from my device? Only my photos come up as options.
 
It could just be the bumblefoot. Sometimes my hens will hurt one of their legs and limp for awhile but it usually clears up after a few days. Also, some hens ,as they age, will start walking differently

I think that the people on your facebook link who commented on her right leg hurting her are right. Feel around a bit, see if there are any swollen joints. Hopefully it'll heal up and she'll stop "limping" soon. Also, it could have something to do with the bumble foot and her trying to stay off the affected areas on her feet. If she's still eating, drinking, and doesn't show any other signs of illness, I would just wait and see if she starts walking normally again.

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it:)
