Also sounds like you have a nutrition issue (which the wheatgrass will also help clear up). What are you feeding?

Could be egg issues causing trouble walking also. The egg issues may be just her age - she's starting up the reproductive tract at that age - OR could be a more serious congenital issue with egg laying.

Sounds like you are doing what you should - keep the nutrition up and keep her comfortable and see what happens.

I am feeding them Purina Layer crumble (just started about 3 weeks ago after taking them off of the medicated starter crumble.) And, they get oyster shell free choice, lots of fresh water all day, veggie scraps from the kitchen, and a little scratch tossed out into the run for fun in the morning.

For the girl inside I've begun giving her liquid vitamins (purchased in the bird section of Walmart - says for all birds) and 1 baby aspirin dissolved in the water (about 2.5 cups water to one 81mg baby asprin. She also gets oatmeal, bread soaked in water, layer crumble and oyster shell at free choice. I've given her some yogurt plain which whe really likes.

I asked my husband to see if Wild Oats or Trader Joe's has wheat grass juice and bring some home today... do I give it to her like the water or in a dropper?

She is getting spoiled, now when she hears my voice coming towards her she goes to the door of the kennel like "pick me up and pet me!" Very cute.

Thank you all for your support and helpful comments. I really really appreciate it.

Does she still look like she has a club foot? Is she still hopping on the upper part of her leg? It seems like something is wrong with the actual leg. Does it still feel as though everything is OK when you feel up her leg?
