This monkey managed to get out of the duck pen so when we caught her we decided to check her feet because we had her already but she was walking a little funny. She was putting full weight on it and if I had to pick it looked more like she was having trouble with her hip joints.

She has some weird growth on both feet. They are hard. Not really swollen and no heat. Maybe she had bumble and recovered? There was never any limping or favoring. I’m always looking out for that. They free range on grass and mulch and sleep in coop on deep litter of clay (ground soil) then wood chips then deep straw.

If her hip is bothering her could it be from a drake mounting her for mating? Her feet don’t look bad at all. Looks like she has a few cuts but they don’t look infected.
Yes she’s his favorite though he does mount the others too (we have 7 females and one male). And yeah it was those cuts I was most worried about.
 
They look healed over from here. I’d still watch them though. But if her hip is bothering her you might want to keep the drake off her for a while to give her time to heal. Maybe put another female with her so she doesn’t try to escape again
