Hen is limping

[Rosieposie6]

Hey, just curious what ever happened with this. I think my young hen is in the same situation where it could be an injury.

She most certainly did! After about four weeks she started to walk normal again and now she’s totally fine. It wasn’t bumble foot or anything serious after all thankfully!

Just saw this sorry! So I didn’t want to jump the gun and take her to the vet right away so for the first 6 days I would check her foot everyday closely to see if there was any open wounds and just to be extra safe I kept it wrapped and soaked her feet in epsom salt/warm water every other day. After about two weeks the limping started to ease up and by week 3-4 she was walking almost totally normal. She absolutely sprained it. She sleeps on a high roost and the time I didn’t have tons of beading on their run floor because it wasn’t too cold yet. At first I thought it was bumble foot but no wounds showed up after the first 5-6 days, just a sprain!
