Hi
My older hen Lizzie died Tues night from impacted crop and probably other complications. I will post more later about this, after info from the necropsy. She had swollen toes on one foot. The vet looked at it. It did not seem like an abscess.
Now one of my younger chickens has very, very swollen ankles and legs on both sides. I'm not noticing this on any other chickens, but will do an more thorough inspection after this.
She is a Speckled Sussex, 2.5 yrs old. She is walking, went into the run with the others, and was interested in sesame seeds. Other than the legs her behavior seems normal.
If I need the vet I would have to do that today, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks again
