Hi! I have a Jersey Giant hen who just completed a brood and hatched 10 chicksšŸ‘ Since shortly after she hatched the chicks she has been limping badly. I have checked her foot and leg and can see no injury. I am wondering if this happens from her extended sitting/brooding? Any suggestions?
 
Check her food for bumblefoot. If not, then try feeding her more nician or oyster shells. I hope she gets better! Maybe her chicks are just pecking at her leg.. :)
