Hey guys,
I have a red sex linked hen who is limping pretty heavily on her left leg for the past week or so and I noticed she's developing a bump on her right foot in between her toes (kind of looks like bumblefoot but without the scab).
She refuses to leave the coop and when she does she stays very close. I have her separated from the rest of my flock after one of my males bred her and just stood on her, she didn't make a move to get up even after I chased him off her. Once separated, she gobbled up food I had placed for her and drank plenty of water. I had checked her abdomen to see if she was perhaps eggbound or had any issues (we had a couple cases of salpingitis last year) but she felt pretty empty.
The thing that has me most worried is that this morning we found on of our chickens dead underneath their coop, I wanted to perform a quick necropsy to see if there was anything unusual but the chicken was buried before I could get my hands on it
Any help would be nice thank you!
