Hi, just thought I'd let you know, one of my hens (Limpy) Very Happy had a similar (unidentified) problem with her leg, (hence the name!!!) Laughing and it got better by itself. I mainly just left her alone, (other than making sure she got plnty of food and water) and it came right in the end Very Happy As for the problem of the squabbling hens, it's good that they've stopped fighting Very Happy I had this problem once when i introduced new hens, and it got so bad i had to give away the offending hen! Shocked Sad (she was REALLY aggressive) but since then things have calmed down. Very Happy Plus now i have a cockerel, so he's boss!!!!! Laughing

maybe whatever she did is just taking a while to heal ~ and one day you won't see her limp again

one of mine got a broken foot after it was trapped in a door.
It took ages to heal, for a time I didn't think it would,

He had a limp for ages but now apart from a swelling, which I think will always be there, the limp has totally gone.

Give it time, teabag couldn't walk at first but is now running round limp free
