I was unexpectedly gifted a hen who seems to not be able to put weight on her left leg. She is thrifty and eats well. She won't roost and only lays down. I didn't realize it was a leg issue until today when she very visibly refuses to bear weight on it at all anymore. I am new to chickens so I don't know how to treat her or figure out what exactly is wrong with her besides the fact that it is her leg. I did notice that it was significantly warmer than her other leg but I can not find any injuries on her foot or leg. We are in the middle of a blizzard so the vet is not an option at this point. Nothing appears swollen. I have her in my house at the moment.
How do I asses it? Can I brace it?
