Thank you from a Newbie - and a question about a lame hen

[Twig20151]

Hi, I've been lurking on BYC for a couple of weeks now - we decided to get some guinea fowl to sort out our tick problem and thanks to all the really helpful posts here we have 4 very happy guineas that we got a week ago. We live in Spain and it was quite hard to find the guineas and no-one knew much about them so I would have been lost without your help.

THANK YOU

We got a hen at the same time and a couple of days after we got her she woke up with a bad leg. They have been a in a closed crate (large) and she doesn't seem to have anything wrong with her foot. She can stand on both legs but as soon as she tries to put weight on only one she falls over. She's getting really good at hopping ! but do you think she will get better on her own?

I think Redsoxs meant for you to post on the "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures" thread - more experience people monitor that site
