Went out this afternoon to find her in the coop by herself. Her feet and comb are swollen in spots (her feet have a red/purple color to them), and her eye is funny looking. We noticed the comb late yesterday, but thought it must just be her rooster. She is slightly gingerly when walking, but other than that acts fine. No one else is exhibiting any symptoms. She is an almost 3 year old bantam. Any help is appreciated! @casportpony @Eggcessive

Separate her inside a wire dog crate with food and water, but keep her in the coop or run with the other chickens. Tomorrow you will need to observe them all together, and see if she is being bullied or abused by another chicken. The legs look bruised and swollen. Look for one bully, but also watch her behavior to see if she is acting differently.
