OK-have you checked her feet for bumble foot? or any foreign object in it? I know horses are no where near chickens in the scheme of life, but they can get an abscess very easily and it is very difficult to tell what is going on until the abscess breaks through the hoof. But, they are broken leg, dead lame on it! Might be worth putting her under a bright light and taking a look with a magnifying glass or something.
I will take a better look at her feet in the morning SullyD. I picked her up and turned her every which way trying to see if I could find anything. Didn't really focus on her feet but I will check that early in the morning. I was more looking for broken bones so I felt her leg bones up and down on both sides. Couldn't feel anything broken or dislocated. Felt of her thighs and still nothing I could tell was out of place. That has me wondering now if she might have something stuck in her foot. When she lands hard on it (like flying down from the roost) it causes it to flare up again. Or bumble foot as you suggest. Would explain the ongoing problem and her limping. Great idea I will let you know after I check her feet tomorrow. Thank you for the idea.
