Limping chicken

[Thechickentrainer1999]

Just notice one of my buff orpington hens limping. I went to go check her out and she doesn't have as much energy as normal. I also did not see any cuts or bruises on her feet or leg. What could be wrong? She seemed fine this morning. I thought chickens tried to hide theor injuries and sicknesses?

Can you post a video of her? (upload to youtube, then provide us a link)

How old is she?
When was the last time she laid an egg?

You may want to bring her in for a little while so you can monitor her symptoms. See is she will drink some water for you. Get a picture of her poop too.

Did you also look at the bottoms of her feet?
