Nats Chickens
Free Ranging
Hello fellow chicken lovers! at least once we have all had, or will have, a chicken emergency, and not know what to do. I have had my fair share of problems, from a seriously bleeding comb [suspected bullying, as she is very sweet and at the bottom of the pecking order] to scaly leg. [not that bad an attack, just one or two upturned scales on one of the hens] But now, my flock leader, Belle the Invincible [not really her proper name. It's just normally Belle] has a very bad limp. she is hopping around on one leg and occasionally puts her left leg [the sore one] on the ground for balance. she also has brown earlobes [they are normally red] with white spots. It's not bumble foot or a broken leg [I checked] so, what is wrong with her?! [she was also very easy to catch and check over, which is NOT normal] I will post some pics if I can get some, please reply!! I NEED to know what is wrong with this hen!!!!
