I got a lame chicken when i went to buy 4 west sussex/rhode island chickens for myself,raggy is a light sussex and she came limping out the pen and was being attacked by the other chickens,when I first got her she didn't lay for 3 months and could only scratch around the floor of the pen - she has now got alot stronger and can get up onto the roosts and is laying every other day.her feathers are lovely now but she will always be little raggy annie to me!
