Chicken problems

[Tess1234]

My chicken hatched her eggs gave birth to 2 chicks. But since then her legs are swollen, and kinda reddish.

My other chicken who also hatched 5 baby chicks, has issues. She has been moving round and round as if she's confused,has trouble dealing with her chicks.

Do you have pictures?

Is the other confused like she’s a bad momma or she’s sick? Some hens don’t make good mommas.

Reddish swollen legs have nothing to do with hatching eggs. There must be something else wrong with her.

Reddish legs might be an indication of scale lice.

But swollen legs? I am not sure,maybe a heart problem???

My other chicken who also hatched 5 baby chicks, has issues. She has been moving round and round as if she's confused,has trouble dealing with her chicks.

Since both of your hens are acting oddly... I wonder if they are both sick???

Yeah,
I just found out that they had an issue.
The one with swollen legs, had bumblefoot.
And the other just needs lots of vitamins to boost her nervous system.
