Well she gets around fine, eats, drinks, lays eggs and tries to run around. She looks to be in no pain and still has a lot of life in her so I don't think I am going to cull her.
The swelling was before where the leg came off. And the leg looked healthy. it did not look like frost bite. Sorry I cant take a picture my mother threw it away. But the leg did not look dead or anything. It just had that warty lump around the ankle.
Hi, I am lerzygirl. I have raised chickens for at least 13 years but have had chickens since I was 4. I love chickens and learning about their health and wellbeing, silly habits and all the different types of breeds. Currently I am known as the, "chicken lady" to many of my customers at my job...
well my chicken started limping about 8 months ago. I checked her feet for bumble foot or anything else but there was nothing. The only thing that was there was that above her ankle. I thought she broke her foot so I bandaged it. But nothing seemed to change and she seemed to get arounb fine...
