Chicken limping...foot discolored and swollen

[Koo koo Kasey]

Yes, I will take one tomorrow. From the reading I’ve done off similar posts, it’s probably a bruise or sprain, there isn’t a cut anywhere and it’s definitely sore. I soaked her in Epson salt and ground up a 81mg aspirin in her food though she didn’t seem to want to eat. Roosting poles are square, and she was lying in the nesting box instead of roosting this evening when I checked in her at dusk.

Texas, it’s not frostbite.

Did we ever figure out what was going on with the limping chicken!?!? I noticed my mama L limping across the road the other day I immediately separated her with her babies in our makeshift run. Our trailer park is in the process of being shut down so a lot of people are demolishing their trailers. I thought maybe she might have stepped in some glass (red circle) I noticed some blue discoloration in her foot this morning (blue circle) her foot doesn't appear to be as swollen as it was on day one... Can anyone give me any advice so that my mama can get back to teaching her babies the essentials
