So she has been limping and curling her toes for a few days now. It's her left foot. Idk what's going on. She'll just fall over I mean yesterday she seems like it was getting better I tried wrapping it, it didn't stay. I don't see any injuries or swelling. It's not different feeling than her other leg and foot. Idk. She drank a bunch of water yesterday after I was done stretching and bending her legs. She seems to have an appetite still. However, today, I can't tell if it's bc she stepped in her own poo that smells or if she herself smells of infection. Any advice or guidance is appreciated. I just am so over having to cull my chickens. She'll be 3 in the last 2 weeks for one reason or another. Ugh.

It doesn’t look swollen and it doesn’t look like she has bumble foot. Is the leg completely paralyzed?
No. I mean. Maybe? She kinda hops on it but then she just drags it then topples over. I thought maybe it was her middle toe bc it felt and looked a bit more limp than the other, but then I started feeling up her legs and came to the idea that it was possibly further up, like in her thigh or something. But then why would her little toes be curled? Idk. I hope it wasn't an infection I smelled yesterday. I'm about to go outside this morning and check on her.

So she’s not really putting any pressure on it? Let me know how she is today

Will do. I'm in the middle of a tooth ache, probably need a root canal bc my nerve is just exposed to the air, and can't be seen until next Thursday so I'm like dreading going out there. But I'll let you know ASAP. Maybe something have changed and she'll be fine. 🤞🏻

Oh no! I hope you feel better! Also when you do check on her check her thigh on that side and see if it feels swollen or not’
