Growth on leg and limping

[centralcaligirl]

Hi everyone,

I have a three year old barred rock hen who is limping today. The limping isn't terrible, but it is noticeable. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that she has this growth or protrusion on her leg. I don't know if they are related or not. I have attached a picture of the growth. She is otherwise acting and eating normally.

Please give me any ideas. The growth is new to me. I have never seen this before.

Thank you!

She's growing a spur, which is unrelated.

Check her feet for bumble, if there's no bumble, then she may have just sprained herself.

Thank you very much. I will do that.

How is your Barred Rock doing? I ask, because I am having the same situation here with our 3yo Barred Rock. She's limped a bit in the past, but recovered over time. No bumblefoot, nor damage, swelling or mites. It started last week and has gotten worse. She started hopping on one leg. We kept her in a dog crate in the run for a 3 days, and thought to let her out today to see how she's doing. She's not really moving at all. Just sitting there pecking the ground but eating the food I place in front of her. I read in another post to cage for 10 days but give 1/2 tab Vit B with food every day. Then see how it goes. If not improved, try for another 10 days. Did you do that and how did it turn out for her?
