Yeah I'm starting to understand there's not much we can do, but just extra attention is helping her so that's a relief.
She's laying an egg every 2-3 days roughly, no trouble there.
I'm guestimating that age, as when I got them 4 years ago (the dumping wasn't recent) they weren't as big as they are now (they reached maturity so to speak).

Thankfully none of her...
Thank you for the welcome ☺️
I'm not sure if vet checked specifically for it. I've checked for bumble foot but honestly I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for.. Her ankles look more "swollen" than her flock mates.
She's been like this for about 2 weeks, not getting that much worse though.
