[Princessfarmer]

I have a hen with a bad leg. She doesn't want to walk on one leg...she just wants to lay there....I put her near water and food....I dont know what else to do....help please

How old is she? Has she ever been wormed? How long ago did it start? Any other symptoms?

We had a mite infestation, and I had 2 girls start stumbling over their feet, and then quit walking all together. As far as I could figure out, they were very anemic. Check for worms and mites (the egg clusters will be at the base of the feather shaft), she may be anemic. If this is the case, you want to get her lots of iron because anemia is an iron deficiency, spinach, cooked red meat, leafy greens.
