Hello,
I have an ISA, about 10 months, that appears to have a broken toe at the joint. This occurred about 2 weeks ago and I thought she had bubblefoot. I removed her from the other girls and started epsom baths and put honey or udder balm on her foot. However, nothing changed. She is still very alter, eating well, and pooping normally. She continued to lay until a few days ago, but I think that is due to stress being spared from the other chickens.
It appears the swelling in her foot has decreased, but the knuckle is still enlarged and hard.
I have attempted to wrap her toe/foot to get her to put weight on it, but doesn’t help her much. I am also thinking about taking her to the vet, but I told myself when I got into this 2 years ago that I would not be that person. Things change I guess!
