Limping chicken?
Our take
Oh no, it sounds like one of your feathered friends had a bit of a mishap! Chickens can be surprisingly resilient, but when it comes to limping after an accidental step, it’s essential to keep a close eye on your little chick. Initially, separating him from the flock was a wise move, allowing him to rest and recuperate without the hustle and bustle of his siblings. If he’s now walking around but still limping, it might be a sign of a minor injury that could heal on its own. However, keep an eye out for swelling or any signs of distress.
My son accidentally stepped on one of our 7ish week old chicks yesterday. Last night he wasn’t walking around at all so we kept him separate from the others, now he’s walking around but limping. Is there something we should do? Will it heal or is this something that needs to be seen by a vet? Thank you!

- Help! Something is wrong with one of my little ladies:(Hello, I’ll start by saying I’m a noob and have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help. So a couple days ago we noticed one of my favorite little chickens was standing kinda funny. Over the past day or so her walk is definitely different and she seems like she’s having trouble getting around. She’s almost straight up when she walks and just doesn’t seem very coordinated or able to do her normal chicken stuff. Anybody know what this is? I want her to be ok so any advice helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/woooowthatwashard [link] [comments]
