Is this something I need to worry about? Will it fix itself? My guess is a swollen muscle but I've never seen something like this before.

This is where you will find any future posts from me about my little flock. I thought it would be best to have them all in one place instead of creating 50 thousand separate posts. I don't think I will ever be that active. Below are my previous posts if you would like to catch up. I will post an...

Hi, one of my little chicks about a week ago seemed to have lost feeling in her toes. She hobbles around with them curled up. She doesn't seem to be in pain, she gets around pretty ok. The only problem is when she tries to scratch herself, she can't seem to do it properly. She complains rather...
