Help Injured black Chochin

Here are some pictures of her legs and feet, it says it's public, but basically she has a limp where she can't really put her foot on the ground and is hoping on one foot and barely putting pressure on the other.

Can you post pics of the other foot and leg for comparison, it looks like that one is a tad swollen.

 

[nebulathechicken]

Yes I will, also the more I think about it she's always been a clumsy chicken and she might have sprained or strained something jumping down from her roost and just needs to rest?

Highly possible. How high is her roost? Is there a step up or a ladder that she can use?

Their roost is 4 feet off the ground and there is a nexting box they can hop on top of to get into the roost, but she always just jumps off. Right now I have made her comfortable and put her in a carrier with some bedding, food, and water but she is in the carrier with the flock so they don't pick on her when she has fully healed. I also picked up some vitamin B complex and vitamins and electrolytes to give her to help the healing process go faster.

Sounds great.
Although I must say I don't think it is necessary to lock her up.

So she'll be okay just hanging out in the coop with the others?

If they are not picking on her I am going to have to say yes.
I am a firm believer in not added unneccesary stress to a flock and by removing a member it changes things.

I would only recommend removing someone IF the others were being mean to it.

Okay my flock has always been very nice to each other, thanks for all the input!

I think I would for sure leave her then.
