I THINK this one is an actual foot injury this time. Still not sure what happened to Lucy three-four weeks ago.
Anyway, my husband told me that when he put up the birds last night, one of the RSLs was gimping a bit. She was still gimping this morning. None of my RSLs had a crooked toe before, but this one appears to. She seems to limp as if this foot is the one that hurts, but seems to take more weight on it than the other.
Do you think it is broken? If it is, is there anything I should do for it?
Btw, she still laid us an egg earlier. And her poops are normal. I have to add some hay to her pen yet (put her in there to keep the others away). If it is just a broken toe, would she be oky out with the others?
And as an aside, we got a Nubian milk goat a week ago, who lives in the pasture attached to the chicken coop. So it is totally feasible that she got it stepped on by the goat (our two doelings could have done it too, but unlikely since they are still small).
