Hi my hen suddenly started limping veery badly (in the evening she was alright and in the next day she was limping and basically walking and running on one leg). I checked both her feet and the both footpads seemed swollen and both had a black scab (like 5mm in diameter). I isolated her and applied ichthammol ointment on both footpads and wrapped them up using gauze and bandage. I change the oinment and bandages everyday and i've been doing this since monday. She's still limping and i dont think the swelling is less. I may post a picture of footpads tomorrow.
I didn't remove the scabs. She was sleeping on the roost the past 3 days but today i put her in nest but she still manages to roost on the nests edge.
How do i help her?
