    Hurt leg : limping not on roost

    My little Lucy has a hurt leg not sure how. Separated her in a dog crate inside coop to get her to rest. It’s night night time and she wants to go roost with her sisters. I tried but her balance wasn’t good. Think I’ll just give her a few days of rest. But she’s crying to go roost. Chicken...
