New to this site, but I've had my girls for a good three years now. Anyways, a few days ago I saw one of my Rhode Island Reds hopping about on one leg. Nearly one hundred percent positive the entire flock was vaccinated for Marek's disease. Then just this morning when I went down to check on everyone, I noticed another Rhodie was hopping around. I'm really worried about them and I'm not sure what exactly to do. Is it the rooster perhaps? I know he favors them quite a bit, but he's never been aggressive he's always been incredibly gentle. If you have any idea at all please please please help me out! I'd really appreciate it.

Good luck!
 
:welcome and good luck with your poultry adventure! It could be that she sort of, say, sprained it? One of my call ducks was doing the same thing all last week, but appears to have stopped. Best of luck getting figured out!
 
Alrighty, thank you for the link :) still pretty unsure of how to get around this place.
