Awww, Miss Olivia is so cute. I don't know how old she is. I would surely wait and see if it's an injury. My last hen did that and I was sure it was Marek's and it turned out to be a rare form of liver cancer. As long as she eats and keeps her weight, I would give her time. Stay positive. How old is she?
Had Olivia at the vet's today. She is still limping but now I can feel a mass. It is located in front of her hip joint. I'm sure this is the cause of her limping. The vet took a needle biopsy and put her on Metacam for inflammation. I am not very optimistic about the potential outcome. She is unvaccinated. She would be two years old in April. Still eating, preening and acting like a normal chicken aside from this new discovery. I will likely know more on Monday. I asked the vet if he thought she was in pain and he said no. She didn't seem bothered by the needle being stuck into it or him pushing on it. He feels it is likely Marek's and involves a tumor on a bundle of nerves located in that area. But he had some doubts so we biopsied.
