Hey everyone, hopefully someone can give me some tips or suggestions!
One of my girls has been limping/wobbly when she walks.
I noticed it 2 days ago and brought her inside. She can put wait on it but has a hard time pivoting to the side and that’s when she gets wobbly and loses her balance.
She also seems to have an issue with bringing her leg forward so she kind of drags it forward.
I was unsure if it was an egg bound issue, so gave her a warm bath and did check for an egg and didn’t feel anything.
She is drinking eating acting normal otherwise.
My assumption is she did something when she jumped down from the perch in the coop. My theory is my husband didn’t put enough bedding down last coop change less than a week ago and she landed on a wood bracing on the base potentially.
I have palpated can’t find where exactly the injury is, could it just be a sprain?
I am going to probably place a splint on her I just wanted everyone’s feedback!
Thank you!
