My one year old Ameraucan hen is limping on one foot--she will put weight on it but not much and when she runs she only puts it down to push off a little bit. I picked her up to see if she had something on the bottom of her foot or if it was injured, broken or swollen, but it all seemed fine. She's been out all day free ranging with the other hens and it doesn't seem to bother her much--just wanted to see what everyone else thinks.

Had this happen to a RIR. I think she twisted it while foraging. She came out of it just fine in about a week. Just keep a close eye on it and her......
 
Same thing happened to my Lilith (come to think of it, what doesn't happen to my Lilith?

We isolated her in dog kennel overnight. By the next morning she was walking on it fine and ready to rejoin the flock.
