    1yr old chicken limping suddenly today, how should I help her?

    I think what dawg53 is saying, and I agree with, is that you need to get her in a spot where she can relax, stay off the leg for a few days, eat, drink and slowly improve without using the leg, like we would do if we had hurt ourselves. Others may bring suggestions for wrapping the leg, or...

    Great information in that post #4 - thanks for jumping in! Looks like a sprain or pull to me too after the feet looked so good... S

    You're welcome - don't know that I was much help, but I don't think bumblefoot is your issue. A large dog crate seems to be the way most folks go for an isolation area. If you go that route, make sure you put something down on the floor that is easy on her feet like cardboard and pine...

    If it's just dirt, you've less to worry about, but washing them will help you identify problems with her feet. If you're going to take the time wash them, you might try to give her feet a little bath of Epsom Salt diluted in warm water. That will ease her discomfort if it is the foot that's...

    It's clearly the left foot that's bothering her, and in the still photos, there looks to be a large dark patch on one side of the center foot pad. Is that dirt, or is that a black scab-like material?
