My white Leghorn who is just over a year has been limping. She recently came home with another one of my hens, who is fine, and when we got home she started limping and not walking very much, just laying down and using her wing to help prop her up. We have about a 15 min car ride and I’m not sure if the other hen stepped on her leg or if she fell on it funny. She also hasn’t laid any eggs in 3 ish days. She is eating a little but not as much as she usually should. Like I said she won’t really stand up and just lays down. there is not obvious signs of anything I can see on her left foot, the limping one, or the right one. Please help!

Do you have photos of her?
Is she pooping?

If she's not laid an egg and should have, give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week. See if she expels an egg or material, then is able to walk better.

She laid an egg with no shell this morning and she is eating and pooping. Maybe bumble foot?
