Leg injury from mating

[Leslieb118]

I went out a little while ago to make sure the chickens were getting ready to head to the coop for the night. All were fine. My EE Rooster decided to catch my 5 1/2 mo. old Tetra Tint pullet and mate with her on the concrete driveway. He stood on her for a few seconds afterwards. When she got up, she was limping pretty badly. I picked her up and checked her over, but couldn't tell where she was hurt. She sat in my lap while I rubbed her leg and then I sat her back down. She hopped to the coop and up the ladder to the top where she hunkered down for the night. My question is, where typically would an injury like that occur? Hip maybe? If she's still favoring it in the morning I'm going to isolate her so she doesn't get pinned to the ground again and injured more. I just don't know what to look for. Thanks in advance!

I just had the same issue with my Silkie hen. At first I was thinking bumble foot, but couldn't find any signs of anything but the limp. It was very pronounced. I isolated her for a week and she's fine now. Hope yours works out, but I would isolate her before he mounts her again.

I opened the coop this morning and she hopped down the ladder and out, still favoring that leg. So I made sure she got a good drink of water and some food and then I put her in a kennel with food and water. I'm wondering if when he mounted her he could've popped her hip out of place or something? I've moved her leg around and she didn't like that much. I do know it happened when he mated with her because I watched 3 of them walk underneath the truck and then he caught her and afterwards she couldn't walk on it. I don't know if I should just leave it alone, or poke around a little more. I don't want to make it worse than it is.
