My chocolate cuckoo orpington just started this weird limp/walk. Am i overreacting? We had another hen start doing this a couple months ago and ended up dying...She's roughly 5 months old right now

 
I see a slight difference in the walk. Very slight. I had an isa that had a major limp a few weeks ago that recovered quickly on her own. If u can see her scratching or her running gait you could probably see more of a limp then. I would let her be unless it becomes more severe. I'm no pro just my opinion. Best of luck with your pretty girl :love

one of my buffs was limping pretty bad a few months ago...even held the bad leg up under her when she stopped...i kept her in for a few days...it seemed to get better..then when i let her free range again she started limping..i left her alone and she got better in a couple months..i think she pulled a muscle...seems great now.. they sure are resilient :)
