Yep! I definitely want to be on the lookout now that I know she's got something going on! Thanks for the info! We did the warm water, oil, and Vaseline and it seems to be helping. She's still not back to normal, but she's much more active today than she was on Friday. We're going to repeat the...

I just didn't notice before since she seems otherwise healthy and hadn't shown any behavioral changes until two days ago. Hopefully the treatments we're doing are helpful. I'll look into gout. Thanks again.

Here's a close-up of her feet. We soaked in warm water, oil, then Vaseline right before she went to roost tonight. She was very patient. If this treatment doesn't seem to work, I'll get some ivermectin. Thanks again for your help.

I didn't find a bound egg when we fed them tonight. She does feel like she's lost some weight. Why only have 2 hens and the other seems completely normal. It seems like an injury, rather than an illness, since she's alert and eating, just seems off-balance he unsteady on her feet. These photos...

One of our hens started acting weird last night. She seems otherwise healthy, alert, and interested in food (she's eating some frozen watermelon here in the photo) but she's not walking well. Last evening when we fed them dinner, we noticed she was limping and I realized her nails were pretty...
