~Limping hen~

PD, so sorry about your hen too! Just so sad when you take such great care and this still happens! Mine has no marks on her. Does sound like bumblefoot on yours though! Good luck!

Thanks for your kind words!

Fingers crossed for both of us!

I've put together some thoughts on pullet lameness, Incident 04 on this page.
Seems that when growth and egglaying collide the hen can be very stressed

Amazing how many owners experience this!

Thanks for you input, read your page! Took out yogurt and will pick up vitamins today. She is eating and still alert so we'll see.
