I have a 12 week old Blue Copper Maran that normally rules the roost. I noticed day before yesterday that she was laying down and that is not her norm. However she did walk back into the coop at night and I noticed she was limping. I checked her for bumble foot, and didnt noticed any direct signs and figure she must have sprained it so I am keeping an eye on her. Today I noticed she is bedded down still eating and drinking if its close to her but not wanting to walk around at all. I can pick her up and I looked over her feet and they appear normal no swelling that I can see but it obviously hurts her. She did not get up and walk into the run today and seems to just want to rest. I brought her in the house and put her in the brooder so she can quietly rest (not to mention she can get out of the 100 degree california heat). I did give her a little baby asprin but was wondering if there is anything more I should do or just let her rest and keep an eye on her? thanks
