Limping?

[ChickenMad11]

my chicken is limping for no reason it is her right leg and sometimes it hurts so much she lays on the floor leaning on her good side. she has been like this for 2-3 days.

we dont know why she is like this, any help would be great

Does she seem any better after the 2 days, the same, or worse? You may want to confine her in a small cage, ie small dog or cat crate, to limit her movement. That way she will be forced to give her leg a break so it can heal. You could also give her some extra goodies, like electrolytes and a hard boiled or scrambled egg, just to keep her immune system up. Have you felt her leg from the hip down to see if anything doesnt "feel" right?
Good luck to you and your hen! Hopefully another poster will have some more help for you!

it seems to have got slightly better, but not that much. we havent put her in any cage, and shes been given the usual food. i sometimes massage her leg and that seems to help a bit.

thank you

any more help would be great
