Unsecure chicken perches

[pike22lb10oz]

I have brought 4 Light Sussex and they were around 12 weeks old i believe, 1 of them has a bad limp and is now not walking much, i have examined the leg closely and can no see any bumps, cuts, swelling and her leg is smooth, she does not moan when you mess with her leg either, she will eat and drink but only if you carry her to the feeders, the other 3 have grown and are developing nicely but this one is not developing at all, any one got any advice.

We have had forum members with limping youngsters who have turned out to have serious tendon issues. I would advise a trip to the vets for a thorough check for tendon issues and fractures.
