Oh ok, I got worried when she wouldn’t eat because usually she is a pig and eats everything your holding. I read the link you gave me, I was just taking her out and putting her outside and bothering her but I won’t keep doing that. I have an extra coop that I can put her in, but will she get to...
I just tried to feed her the scrambled eggs and she wouldn’t eat them, Will broody hens not eat? I’ve only had to deal with two broody hens but they both weren’t as stubborn as she is.
so she’s not limping anymore which is good and her wing is still a little bit out but not a lot, but now I’m starting to think if she’s Broody on top of that because all day I find her in the nesting box and every time I go near her she puffs up her feathers which is very unlike her unless she’s...
Another update: She is more active today and has more of an appetite but still has a limp with her wing out and her feathers puffed up. She did lay an egg though so I think she is slowly improving!
I think we are talking about the same location, I can’t find anything wrong with her leg which makes me worry about Marek’s but i think she would have gotten worse and she’s still the same.
I did look at the bottoms, no bumblefoot or wounds eta. I agree, it’s so strange. I haven’t tried to palpate her leg so I will try that now. I have been checking on her every 30 minutes for 3 days so she’s super annoyed with me 😂
small update- she seems a little more active, I did look her over for mites, fleas, eta. And nothing but she is scratching A LOT . Her poops are also very small, like little chick poops but that could also be from her eating less. Hasn’t layed since yesterday.
No maggots on her, realized they were from a broken egg under the bedding . No bad odor, I did examine her all over but every time I went to lift her wing up she started clucking. She also has normal droppings expect for one that still had the white lining but was black. Other then that they are...

A little update, she is the same, still holding her wing out and limping, laying, but still going in the nesting box with her feathers puffed up. She is still eating, drinking, and scratching around but very little. I tried giving her water with a baby aspirin but she was not having it. I...
No wounds, I did find maggots in the coop, not sure if that could have something to do with it, I’m away tonight but will be back in the morning and then I will take pictures.
My year old buff Orpington has a slightly swollen wing that she is holding out and is limping on the same side. I separated her and gave her vitamins but I don’t know what caused it, she hasn’t layed and is lethargic. What else do I do?
