One of chickens this morning has a very swollen hip and refused to put weight on that leg. Skin in that area appears dry and cracked, with a little red showing. No cuts that I can see or obvious broken bones. Age is about 7 weeks. Buff Orpington. We didn't notice anything wrong last night.

Rest of flock is fine. No signs of predators. Did have a pretty loud storm last night.

We're real new at this, so we could fill volumes with what we don't know.

Any suggestions, what to try?
