Hello I'm in Texas and my 8 'girls' are about 20 weeks old and just started laying this week...getting 3 to 4 eggs a day so far...all seem to be happy and growing except for "Little Bit" she is the runt of the group and seems to be lame in one leg..... I don't see anything that looks like "bumblefoot" what else can it be?

Hi, looks like you've been a member here for a while so congrats on making your 1st post!

If your girl is healthy otherwise, she could just be slower to mature and will probably eventually catch up to the rest of the flock.
