Hi All, I have a question regarding 1 of my girls. She is a Mystic Maran and I noticed late yesterday she is slightly limping on 1 of her feet. I checked her foot for cuts, bumps, something stuck and I see nothing. I also trimmed her nails but they were not bad at all. I don't know what could be wrong with her. She is eating and wants to be with my other girls, but I worry. Any suggestions on how to handle this or what else I need to look for? Thank you all!

Welcome To BYC!

Do you have photos of your hen, her feet?

A video of her actions may be helpful - upload video to Youtube and provide a link or use the BYC Gallery and let us know where to find it.

You separated her out? A slight limp can be a number of things from a minor strain to leading up to something more serious if it worsens.
I usually leave mine with their flock unless they are getting picked on and monitor for any improvement within a couple of days.
