I found my chicken in the coop by some boards that were in the run. I’m not sure if she fell off of them or if she was just near them. At first I thought it was her wing but it’s definitely her foot. She’s not putting any pressure on it. And her mouth is open and she’s panting . I’m gonna put her in a safe kennel with food and water. But is there anything else I can do?

Is she limping or holding the left foot up? It looks larger than the right foot in the pictures. Can you get a close up of the foot and the foot pad? Look for any cuts, scabs, redness, swelling, or green bruising.

I looked at the pad, no bumble foot, no cuts, redness, or swelling that I can see. She is holding the foot up as she doesn't want to put weight on it at all. I've had her in a kennel all day and she laid an egg, is eating and drinking. So that makes me hopeful. I am going to clean up her foot and then take more pictures today and maybe someone can see something I'm missing. I appreciate the kind response :)
