Bumblefoot or broken toe

[lisabogaars]

I have a Silkie baby that has been limping for several weeks. The pad of her foot seems swollen but I don't see any signs of bumblefoot. One toe is crooked. I have tried soaking several times but still see no difference, and she continues to limp. No other signs of illness.

I think I should take her to a vet, but don't want to spend hundreds. Does anyone know of a vet in the Seffner, FL area, or anyone in this area that could take a look at her foot. I'm new to chicken raising and not well versed in injuries.

I can try and post a picture.

thanks for any input

Pics will help... we need one of the pad of her foot and one of the top of her foot

Yes, photos will help. Can you confine her to a smaller area (with the flock) so she has to rest it?

This link will search for an avian vet in the area you choose, then you will need to call and ask if they see chickens:

Did you find out what caused this? My silkies toe looks just like this and is now starting to fold under
