Hen walking with foot curled up

[GroovyFarmer]

I have recently acquired a 1 year old hen. Today I noticed that she's walking with one foot curled up. We checked and there doesn't seem to be any injury or bumblefoot. Is here any other reason she might be doing this? What can I do to help?

A curled under foot where they walk on the knuckle or sit on hocks can be a sign of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency. I would use poultry vitamins in the water that contain riboflavin for a few weeks. Make sure that you use a fresh dated poultry feed as the main ration.
