Good Afternoon,
I have an approximately seven month barred rock hen who has a lame left leg.
Looking at the leg, it shows no obvious signs of a break or dislocation. The best way to describe it is that she can stand without issue. However, when she tries to move, there is obvious pain when all of her weight is on the left leg. The leg can take the weight, but she limps and does not go too far as it appears that the pain is debilitating.
My unprofessional opinion would be a sprain, but wanted to see what others might thing about my girl.
If you agree that this is a sprain, what is the best way to treat this??
Thanks
Rooster Jeff
