Magic had been up and putting weight on her leg, so we decided to let her down with the flock for a bit to get some time out of isolation. She immediately had a dust bath in every usual spot. Such a dusty hen! We observed her for while, but when it was obvious that she could get around well, and wasn’t being picked on (quite the opposite actually), we left her out for awhile. When I went to put the hens up for the night, I really expected her to be on the ground somewhere, but she was up on the roost with her girls! So she stayed out of birdie jail. She is still limping, and I wonder if it will be a permanent limp, but there is no reason to keep her cooped up (haha) if she can get around just fine and isn’t showing signs of disease, especially with our temperatures starting to soar.
