I have a hen, 6 months old and she was limping the last couple of days. Today she will hardly put weight on it at all. I've checked her feet and legs and there are no signs of bumps, cuts, or bruises. All that I notice is that her ankle seems larger than the other when I feel it. It must be swelling. I begin to squeeze and she makes no movement or noise of pain. I flex the leg and she doesn't make a move or sound. All I can guess is its maybe a sprain from getting on and off the roost or something.
What can I do to allow her to heal? I don't let her out to free range with the other birds and I try to catch them before they roost so I can put her up there. Should I wrap the leg for support or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
