All Birds can have coccidiosis in the system so it's when it gets to be too high in the gut it causes issues...

Has she started laying eggs yet?

@Janey1129 , was she vaccinated for Marek's? Can you post some poop pictures? Can you post a video of her walking?

Coccidiosis in adult chickens is rare. It also would not explain the limping. You could treat for it if you wanted. Has she been laying normally lately?

Any chance you could take a fecal sample to a vet and have them take a look? If she has worms or a high load of coccidia, they would be able to tell by doing the fecal on her. Fecals generally aren't too expensive.

Yes, she has been laying every day. I'll call my dog's vet tomorrow and see if they will do a fecal on my hen. Thank you.

After thinking about it, since treating with Corid won't hurt, perhaps it's not a bad idea for the OP to try it, especially if it turns out her vet won't do the fecal. I've never used it on adult chickens, what's the dosage for them?

I have never had to use it but know it helps if needed and symptoms of Coccidiosis ...
