I went outside a few days ago to take care of my chickens when I noticed a hen not walking correctly. I thought that maybe she stepped on something, and didn't worry about it.
It has now been three or so days, and she is still having the same problem.
When she takes a step, she raises one of her feet all the way up to her belly, not just a few inches off the ground like normal. The strange thing is- she only does this with one of her feet.
What is wrong with her???

Is it bumblefoot? That needs taken care of asap. Look on the bottom for swelling... There's info on the internet about bumblefoot. I never heard of it until one of my babies lost a foot to it.
 
Wow. If she isn't falling down... I guess it isn't neurological... I am sorry. I have no answers. I will keep you in my prayers. L

She did hase a minor case of frostbite on her toe over the winter... do you think that could be why she is walking funny?
