I posted about two weeks ago about one of my hens, Penny, who I believe injured one of her legs or feet (I'm guessing the right one) and was unable to walk. She's a little bit better now, and can wobble around a bit, but she hasn't been eating much, is notably skinnier, and hasn't been laying eggs. She doesn't spend her days with the flock, but she stays right outside the screen door into the run. It's fairly safe there, since the only daytime predators we have are hawks, and the area she stays in is covered by a pine tree. She does try to get into the run whenever she can, but all the other hens keep her away from the food and water. She has her own separate food and water pans outside, and we give her some treats, such as crushed bones and eggshells for calcium and watermelon rinds just because she loves them. I want to encourage her to eat and I want her to get some exercise. She's gotten much thinner and it's only been two weeks. Does anyone have some tips on how I can get her to eat and exercise?
