Yes that’s right, she was brooding for months. So naturally I thought she was just weak after being nest bound for so long. Put her in rabbit cage to fix brooding. Now she is trying to be with the flock but she uses her wings to balance herself. I think one leg is not right from sitting for so long. She does not eat well but better than before. I make sure to give her worms, strawberries, extra scratch. When I pick her up to feed only her (cause the other ladies no share too good) she flaps about more than any other hen maybe like she is hurt so when I put her down it is like I stressed her out and she falls on her face and backside. I dont pick her up any longer but single her out to make sure she eats the good stuff. QUESTION: Do I keep her caged and feed her separately or let her be with flock to get exercise? Egg Bound? Broken leg? Hip problem? She is only a year or so old.
