Hello everyone. For about a month now my bantam d'uccle has been mildly limping on and off. This week she started hopping around, not putting any pressure on one leg. Upon examining her feet/legs, one of her hock joints was extremely skinny, and her toes curled sideways when I put her on the ground. Her other leg, which she is not putting weight on, the hock looks a bit large.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

I don't understand how on the 'good' leg the toes curl up when she stands.
 
Hi! I'm probably not the most knowledgeable person on this site, but I'll do my best. Are there any scratches, chafes, cuts, or wounds of any kind? Any abscesses or bloating? Its possible that she has bumblefoot. Could you show a picture of the underside of her feet? In regards to the foot curling thing, my hens do it too - I have no clue why.
