This is the first day this happened she is not to old maybe like 3-4 years she is holding the leg up I think and no vet availableHow old is she? Is this the first day you have noticed a problem with her leg? Is she holding the left leg up? Is there any swelling or green bruising along the entire leg? Is there any scab or cut on the bottom of her foot? I can’t tell if her leg is injured or exactly what is going on? Tendon or leg bone deformities can occur. Does she put her leg down at all? Make sure that she is getting enough food and water. You may need to restrict her movements to force rest on the leg. Is a vet available for an xray?
It doesn’t look much different but when I try to move her hurt leg around it is much more tightCan you keep her in a wire dog crate with bedding, food and water near the other chickens to rest her leg for a few days? Does her ankle look swollen compared to the other?
