Hen Has Swollen & Warm Ankle

[OldCrookedToe]

My silver laced wyandotte hen has been limping since Sunday and I looked at it yesterday - no bumblefoot or wounds. It's swollen, warm, and fleshy. She's eating and drinking good and everything else on her felt fine. Is there anything I can do or should be concerned about? Or should I just let her be? Thanks!

Could be something as simple as a sprain. Chickens do have some crash landings. I would leave her be if she's acting fine, no sense stressing her out more. It will hopefully improve.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks!
