Oh no! Can you isolate her so she can rest her leg? Nobbie is putting her foot down very very very rarely and definitely not yet putting any real weight on it. I put 5 crushed aspirin in a gallon of water and began giving her that for her water this am. I figure if there is inflammation it...

Thanks, Anne
I discovered our 2 year old Black Australorp limping badly on Friday. She was unable to put any weight on her leg. When she held it up it trembled. I isolated her in a broody cage. Gave her some egg and sunflower seeds hoping that it was a minor problem. She is pooping, laying and eating...
