Our family just starting raising chickens this Spring. Our one hen, 5 months old, started limping two weeks ago. I checked the leg and touched her feet, she didn't respond like she was in pain. A week later she seemed to be getting around pretty good, but still holding the leg up. Now this morning she is worse. She mostly sits in the run or the coop.
We don't know what to do. There is no blood or injury that we can see. I don't think she is in pain, but I am only going by her hopping around on one leg and she doesn't seem mad when I touch the leg/feet area. The other hens aren't pecking her; at least not more than usual.
Any thoughts on what to do? Any advice, besides taking her to the vet, would be appreciated.
thank you
