Black Spot on Wattle

[Eggcessive]

Does she hold the leg up or does she put any weight on it? Does her leg seem numb or just sore. Is there any redness on the leg or swelling of the joints?

She does not hold up her leg, she is able to walk on it (with a limp of course) and also uses it to scratch/forage. Leg does not seem numb. No redness or swelling that I can tell, I’ve been checking it daily and haven’t seen swelling/redness/wounds/etc, just a normal, pale colored leg and squishy foot. Nails and toes seem ok as well. She looks so sad when she tries to run and is hobbling all over the place so I’ve now been trying to carry her around when the other chickens walk long distances to forage. I think she likes having an on-demand human to carry her places
