I have a pullet that is about 3 months old that has started limping. She eats well and will try to run to get scratch treats. She walks around but her hock joint seems to pronate inward as she walks. I was thinking it as injury and she would get better, but she has not. I separated her and could feel nothing unusual on her hip. I looked up info on the tendon, but it seems that it is mostly on newborns. Any ideas what to do would be appreciated.
 
If she is having no trouble eating/drinking, perhaps leave it be? If it really bothers you, call an avian vet in your area. It sounds like a problem that would need surgery :| Maybe splint the leg to make it easier for her?
 
Edit - eats, drinks, and walks/runs well, etc..
Thanks, put a splint on it. Not sure that it was a good job. She is walking around on it today. The splint seem to give it some support, though it still seems to try to pronate inward. She eats, drinks and seems to be o.k. except for the movement.
