I have 26 Freedom Rangers that are 2 weeks old. I recently let them start to range in a fenced in area. I noticed one chicken limps when it does walk but often sits near the food when it does not need to move. Would you guys cull this one or wait another week and see if it heals. Not sure if maybe when I was taking them out of the brooder to put them on the ground if maybe I plopped this one a bit too hard. I only would place them on the ground from maybe 6 inches up. Thanks for the help!
 
How long has it limped?
If just a day or two, and doesn't seem to be suffering to much, I would probably wait and see if it heals up. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it is eating and drinking ok.
If it wouldn't walk, I might do different.
