The photo doesn’t quite give it justice, and I am unable to upload a video on the forum, but I came home this morning to find one of my pullets, nine weeks old, appearing to have a broke leg. She can stand and move, but the left leg looks to be very weak Yesterday she was fine and she appears to be eating and drinking normal. No outward appearance of illness. She is currently separated with food and water. Any suggestions or troubleshooting? I just isolated her so I am not sure if she has bloody stool or not will update as I gather information.

Can you see any swelling, green bruising or redness in the leg, or scabs on the foot pad? Does she seem in pain when you handle the leg or hip? Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease? I would put a piece of plywood and some bedding to cover the wire in her crate since she is having trouble with the leg.
