Just an update to say that we took her to the vet and it looks like a soft issue injury, akin to a sprained ankle. She’s on an anti inflammatory and is doing much better!
Thanks for the response. She doesn’t keep her foot curled, but you can tell she doesn’t want to put weight on it. I think you may be right that it’s some kind of injury. And of course she is my youngest child’s “favorite” so I think we may try to get an appointment at the vet tomorrow...
Our 8 month old Barred Rock started limping yesterday, avoiding putting weight on one foot. She will gingerly still dig with that foot.
We looked for bumble foot but are not seeing obvious signs (but we’ve never seen it IRL before...)
Wondering if it’s scaly leg mites, so we did a warm water...
Hi,
We are the proud family of 4 chicks hatched April 6. We have an Easter Egger, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, and Barred Rock, plus 2 human kids. :)
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, near Mt. Diablo.
We look forward to learning from everyone’s experiences and expertise!
