Hi my 20 week hen(australop) who laid her first egg this week has a swollen and hot hock. She was limping around last 2 days and today has just given up and only sits in her coop. I've placed her next to the food and water but she doesn't seem interest and often I catch her closing her eyes. Their diet is layer pellets and daily table scraps.
Unfortunately we are still in lockdown here (melb, Australia) so I am currently unable to buy a coop to separate her from the flock. Hoping there is some over the counter anti inflammation medicine that I can give her to ease her pain. Thanks!
Edit: added images of foot since I suspected bumblefoot but it doesn't seem to be swollen
