So a few weeks ago i noticed one of my hens was limping. I picked her up, and there weren't any apparent injuries. She wasn't bothered when I moved both of her legs around, and the next day she was walking normally. When i came home today I noticed she was limping again, still no apparent injuries, and she still wasn't bothered when I examined her legs. What could be wrong with her? The limp isn't as bad as it was last time, but it's noticeable. I don't want to be ignoring a major health issue. I've been giving them a varied diet of standard feed, and lots of different edible plants. She's the only one who's been limping

It looks like it's her left leg she isn't putting weight on.

If growing up watching cartoons taught me anything, then there's a thorn in her foot. Pull it out and she'll instantly become your best friend.

Laying eggs takes a lot out of a chicken.

Do you have a rooster? Maybe he's a rapist.

Good lord.

Honestly it could be nothing, might have landed wrong and it's just healing. Birds don't need both legs anyway.

As long as it doesn't get worse/infected, don't worry about it.

Look up bumblefoot and then peer suspiciously at your hen.

Yeah, I have a rooster. A fucking huge rooster at that. Nearly twice the size of my smallest hen.
