Hi all,
I noticed one of our silkie hens (they are about 3-4 years old) started to limp quite badly, i noticed her foot has gone really crusty, no wound or bleeding or open sores but looks like she cant move her toes properly.
I checked her other foot and it looks normal as well as all the other hens……. Both of our roosters feet actually look pretty rough but they dont seem to have any problem moving. Ive never had health problems in the flock before so im a little lost. Any advice would be great have taken a photo of the foot in question.
FYI no new birds have been introduced for years all we have done is hatched and raised maybe 15 more birds since our original 5, the issue is with one of the OG hens. From what i can tell she still gets around and is eat drinking pooping.
Thanks again
