My 2 year old barred rock hen won’t put any weight on one of her legs. I first noticed just 30 minutes ago when I went out to see my girls, and I saw that she was laying down.
I felt her leg and foot, but I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, but at the same time, I don’t know what exactly to feel for.
She seems to be eating and drinking fine, and was even acting like her usual self, just quieter and hopping around on one foot. No closed eyes, no heavy panting. She was even digging at the ground with her beak when I found her like it wasn’t a big deal. She even nipped me a little when I put her in the coop to rest, as per usual, with her being rather territorial with the coop.
The one time before a chicken was limping around, it was a broken blood feather, and she healed up fine, but I have no clue why my girl may be hurting.
Could it be that she pulled a muscle? Could it be something worse? Im very worried and concerned for her.
