So my buff orpington (1 year old) had been broody so I roused her from her stupor and was cleaning the hen house when I heard a big commotion like she may have fallen down or something. I had let the girls out to range so I turned around and noticed that Buffy was now limping. She may have sprained her leg? that was yesterday and today I brought her out again to see how she walked and it does seem to be getting better but should I be trying to splint her leg or something? There is no noticeable injury except for the limp. I did notice that others suggest quarantine when there is injury but she is broody so actually just keeps to herself in one corner of the coop on a secondary roost. The other girls ignore her. Should I be doing anything else to help her heal?
thanks!
thanks!
