I noticed the limp first thing one morning. Seems to be a pattern. Limping in the morning, somewhat better during the day, but limping again at night. Don't see or feel any injuries, but it has lots of foot feathering.
It's not getting picked on at all, but doesn't seem to be healing. Today I moved it into a cage inside the coop and put vitamins in the water. I hope maybe some rest will be good.
Is this the best thing to do? The mother hen is currently broody again (on nothing) inside the coop, so it won't be alone and the other chicks do spend quite a bit of time in the coop.
Thank you.
