Thanks Holly, for the input. General update since my last. I decided that, at the point where she worsened, she probably broke her toe (middle of the toe), most likely because of that existing injury. I made a splint for her toe (the toe joint bandage was still in place) and I just took the...

I thought I would give an update. More than a sprain (perhaps broken toe, or she had bruised the joint, whatever). I did take off the support bandage the other day, to see if she improved - she walked a little better for a while, over-used it, has made it worse. Because she did insist on...

Thanks, I did think of this when I read through a number of other threads. But this did seem to come on suddenly, rather than a gradual decline. And the naughty girl keeps going over the high fence. Not at the moment though!

Good to know, thanks for that. She is doing a little more than I would like her to, as far as jumping on/off things. And I installed the ramp. It is a little difficult at the moment to do more, as the new pullets have a temporary cage in the shed/coop. I would like to wait a few more days before...

The swelling is not much at all, it almost looks normal (ie not a lot to see in a photo). Even if I managed to photograph both feet, I am not sure it would be that apparent, tbh. She'd been through enough today (and was a good girl through the re-bandaging), so I just wanted her to chill out and...

Bumblefoot, or early bumblefoot was my first assumption, so epsom salt soak, antiseptic, applied manuka honey wound gel, then bandaged foot to keep the gel in place (that stuff worked really well on a deep open wound I had on my hand). It was on today's changing of the bandages that I decided...

I have a 9yo hen, who has been limping for a number of days now (just over a week?). I inspected her feet for bumblefoot (even treating for bumblefoot), but the pads seem normal, equal in size, no black spots, and to me, does not seem like bumblefoot or even the beginnings of it. When changing...
