Chicken is hopping It is using both legs but is hopping

[Alison Pony]

My chicken is hopping. It is using both legs but only one is hurt. What should I do? It is half limping half hopping. I saw some chickens fly into the fence.I think it was one of them.

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

Sounds like you need to check out the Emergency diseases injures and cures and put up your problem there

I normally separate any and all of my injured birds till they have recovered .

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us!

Bumble foot is not caused by banging into a fence. You can put bumblefoot into the search box and symptoms should pop up. If it sounds like what your bird has, please post in "emergencies, diseases,injuries, cures" thread.

I noticed that one of my hens was hopping on one foot today. We soaked her feet in warm water and Epsom salts and I cleaned her foot with dawn dish washing liquid. Then I sprayed with a spray I got at TSC. Aft r that I applied neosporine and wrapped with the wrap they sell for horses legs. I cut small strip. She's is a separate cage in the garage since the other hens started pecking at the bandage.
