Good Morning guys and gals,
My Plymouth Rock Bonnie, began limping 4 days ago. I immediately caught her and confined her in my large wire dog crate, with food water clean bedding and heat. When I watch her, she has a slight limp but also periodically lifts the sore foot and tucks it up into her feathers. I have tried to give her periods of time with the flock but each time she gets left behind. So I put her back, which she seems to want because she does not run away. I have given her 40 mg aspirin, for the last three days. Soaked her in lavender Epsom salts, and today I am trying to figure out what’s wrong. Here are two pics of her foot. I think the middle toe looks swollen.
Can anybody see with more experienced eyes. My hen is heavy and turning 2 this April.
Thanks
Susan
