At least they are soft and fuzzy. Nothing beats soft jammies!
The slippers ARE cute too.

She should get her thyroid checked.

Yes @TexasSam
Thyroid.

 

[21hens-incharge]

It is

That’s what I told her she is 40

At just 40 it could be many things. I would gently encourage her to get a work up done. Hormones do weird things, may be just a bit out of the regular range. (Tried real hard NOT to say abnormal)

I thought it was her ankle. She sort of throws that leg out front then steps down onto her hock. So I tried to splint that just to give more support. Nope. She sat down and bent the splint. (I used two human finger splints) Today when I noticed that her leg is sort of turned out I tried banding it to her body to hold it under her. She refused to walk then when she finally tried she promptly fell flat on her face. That's when I realized her knee is loose. That's the best way to describe it. Loose. I tried to wrap her knee and give it support but nothing will stay up. She moves once and it's all down her leg. Even vet wrap. A sling is next. I need to set up chicken hospital in the basement. LOL Poor Sugar girl needs some extra TLC too.

Those sad eyes

Send her to her lady parts doctor. She can do a manual thyroid exam right there in the office and order blood work, including her hormone levels and thyroid levels too.
One stop visit.

Nunny, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea at all to put her in a sling, that way she can extend her legs but not bear weight. Won't be as bad as the crate either.

That new roost was the best,dumbest looking idea iv'e had in a while. Much less baby eating with Lulu and Beavis on a different roost. They don't grip good so that wide one is perfect. So that big coop has two on one roost, two on another and four littles on the last.

I'll love those gnomes when it gets cold and they've got a drawstring for the fatter days big luxury feature.

Well I didn’t tell her gently. I told her she needed to see a doctor soon and to make a appointment Monday
