Pulled hamstring

[Castlewood]

No, seriously. I'm not sure what happened to one of my 4month old pullets, but in the flurry that is the daily kale treat - she came out of it with a bum leg. She walks like she has a pulled muscle or a sprained ankle. She spend most of her day sedentary. She hobbles over to the feed and water when she needs some, but for the most part - she sits.

Has anyone seen this in their chicks before? I'm just leaving her be for now and keeping her in her own pen to avoid the walk up to the hen house and jump to the roost bars. Suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I just noticed one of my 4-month olds, hopping around. I thought it was cute at first but realized she has injured her leg somehow. If you see nothing visible, it would help to keep her from moving it too much by penning her to a smaller area and see if it gets better.
