My hen has been limping for a couple of days now. I have her separated from my flock and she is currently in a crate. I am not sure what happened to her, any ideas?
here is what her foot looks like while standing. her injured leg is the one on the left.

Is she holding the injured leg up or putting weight on it? If she holds the leg up do her toes curl under? How old is she? Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease? Could she have hurt her leg by jumping off a roost or being hurt by a rooster? You may want to separate her in a dog crate with food and water to force her to rest the leg, but keep her near the other chickens for company.
