Help! Young hen limping

It wouldn't hurt to give her something like Rooster Booster Poultry Cell for a few days. How is her poop?
I can’t ID her poop from the other chickens. I gave her some chick boost, as I had that in the house and will give try to get that rooster stuff tomorrow. If her leg is injured would I be able to tell by looking at it? I feel so bad she’s such a sweet girl .

Sometimes you can (swelling at the joints, cuts, etc.), but oftentimes there are no obvious external signs of injury.

If you can I'd separate her from the others so you can observe her (and her poop) more easily and so she can rest and have her own food and water close by. A dog crate works great for this.
 
Hello-
My 14 week old hen looks in pain. She seems to be limping and I’m not sure what to do. Her tail is down too. It’s been cold here but otherwise I have no idea what could have happened. Any suggestions?
I really appreciate any help! I have a video too, not sure how to post it.

I think it’s her left leg, she can’t really put much pressure on it and almost rolls over at times. I examed her foot and can’t really see anything.

How long has she been injured?
The left foot almost looks a bit swollen, hard to tell in photos. Observe it over the next few days to see if any greenish bruising appears.

I agree, I'd start her on B-Complex. 1/4 tablet daily.

See that she's getting to food/water. It's usually best if they can be with/stay near their flock if possible. If you have room within your coop to cage her for with her own food/water that may be better than separating her. It can be difficult to re-integrate a bird that's been removed completely.




She looks quite pale, I would bring her inside if you can and monitor her. I'm sure more experienced keepers will be able to help you further.
Buff Orpington, 14 weeks old = Pale, white to light pink skin. That's the coloring she should be at this age.
