Ohio Chick
Chirping
So I came out to the coop the other day & found my RIR limping around on her one leg. I picked her up & checked her out but I don't see any injuries at all. There's no difference in the legs, no bumblefoot and she was vaccinated for Marek's disease. She puts weight on it only to limp. She is still eating & drinking with no change in her personality. I can only assume she injured it by jumping or something. What I need to know is if this is common & what should I do for her to get her healthy? I haven't found a chicken vet & there's not a lot of information about what to do. She's just over a year old & I have sand in the coop, so it's a softer cushion when the chickens jump. I tried soaking her in a warm bath, she loved it but it didn't seem to help the limp. If anyone has some suggestions I would be so grateful. I have her separated from the flock in a crate in the coop because she was getting picked on. I let her out in the evening for a little bit so she can eat some grass but I thought limiting her mobility seemed like good idea.
