Weak, limping hen?

From what I've seen, I can't pinpoint anything specific. I mainly say give her the things she most needs, and comfort. Make sure she's separated and has a comfortable, warm place where she can eat and drink. You can mix some water and electrolytes or Nutri drench with her food or water. I've noticed that for my chickens, wet food is it great treat for them. Also it makes it easier for them to eat. Like I said, make sure that she has all her basic needs. That's going to be the most important thing until you figure out what's wrong. I'll think of anything it could be. Good luck!
 
And I'm so sorry that I didn't reply sooner... I wasn't on today until just now. I truly hope everything works out.:fl:hmm:hugs
 
She's limping less, but still walks as though she is a bit sore. It could be because she's bored, but she likes to lay down. I still haven't seen her drink, but I did see her eating. I gave her another egg and she ate most of it. She's still not standing up all the way, though. When I was trying to syringe water into her beak, she wanted to peck at it. So I figured she was trying to get the water and offered her her dish, but she wouldn't drink from it. So she must be curious. But when I put water into her food, she'll eat that right away. Needless to say, I'm confused.
 
We'll, she's feeling better. No limp, eating, drinking, behaving like she should. But I still don't understand what could have been the cause of her limp.
