Chicken limping

[DatCrazyChickenLady]

Hello! On every of my chickens, Rosa, has a very bad limp. When we looked at her foot, there didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. There was no swelling, visible cuts or puncture wounds, and nothing seemed obviously broken. She didn’t react when we gently squeezed her leg and foot. She ate a bit yesterday, but she won’t eat today. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong or the best way to go about fixing it/ finding out what is wrong?

Can you take a video of her walking and upload it to youtube - provide us a link to that.
If you can't do that, photos of her may be helpful, especially how she stands and what her feet look like.
How old is Rosa?
Does she lay eggs? When was the last egg?

I can post some photos in a bit! I’m not sure if I can do a video tho. She is about 7 months old and I am unsure whether she has started laying yet; she either just started or is very close to starting.

Okay here are some photos of the foot that seems to be causing the issue:

I don't really see anything that stands out except for a few discolored scales - hard to tell sometimes in photos, do they look greenish? Green can indicate bruising in chickens, but it's just a few small places.

The bigger worry is her not wanting to eat - has that improved at all? How is her crop, is it empty, full, fluid filled, etc.?

I’m following along. I’m having a similar issue and have a post thread I’ve started. Thanks!

I noticed those scales too! As for not eating- I’m not sure. How do I tell? I don’t have a ton of experience with sick or injured chickens, so sorry if that’s a stupid question.

Wyrop Rock has suggested getting a fecal done to rule out intestinal worms we might to be able to see.
