Something is wrong with one of my Buff Orpingtons.

I feed them just regular layer feed all I have is the electrolyets/vitamins

Did you look at the bottom of the foot for signs of bumblefoot?

Unfortunately no I don't[/QUOte

Send her here, I'll fix her right up! She's beautiful
Actually she may need a sling to heal up properly, I'm not sure

You have to check her out more.
It could be an injury or she could be showing signs in vitamin deficiencies or she could be showing the beginning sings of Marek's disease.

I hate to disagree with you KIKI, but it's signs, not sings! LOL
But check for any symptoms, KIKI is usually right

That's quite OK, I made a mistake before. I think it was in 1982?

I did look into the mareks and it talks about
"Lameness and leg weakness without any visible signs of swelling or heat within the limb."
but when I was feeling around the hock yesterday it did feel quite a bit warmer than the rest of her.

Just keep a close eye on that Buff O...be sure she doesn't get picked on

I have her in the broody breaker/quarantine box mainly cuz I didn't think she would be able to get up on the roost or down from the roost without making matters worse. Its in the coop so they can still see each other
