Chirping
My chicken is limping again. I'm posting some photos. Can anyone see anything that might be the cause? I checked for bumblefoot, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The other night my husband declared "something seriously wrong with the way that leg looks", but I don't see it. It looks normal to me. A few minutes later my husband decided it looked normal too, but she is still limping so I thought I'd ask here.
Some background information: She is a Bielefielder and is just shy of 1-yr old. She hatched sometime last April. We purchased from a hatchery and she started limping a few days after arrival. We gave her electrolytes and she improved, but the limping returned serval times as a chick. Now it is back and she has been limping for several days now. Can anyone tell what might be wrong? Are there any type of chicken supplements I can give here that don't need to be mixed in with water? Maybe some type of "treat" that might help. She is always been weaker than the other chicks her age, but never limped this long at one time.
