Moulting, Limping Hen
« on: January 29, 2009, 17:02 »
One of my hens is losing lots of feathers and is hobbling. These things aside, she is eating, drinking and behaving as normal.
We have started her on an antibiotic (we have some broad spectrum stuff that the farmer gave us).
The other hens are fine.
Any ideas?

Hi P&C

Presume you've checked underneath to make sure there's no splinter, cut etc...

Might she have hurt it whilst jumping down from the perch?
