Sorry if this was already asked, but have you checker her for, "bumble foot?"

 

[sheeshshe]

well I had looked at pictures online and I'm not really sure what exactly I should be looking for. I tried comparing her feet to the other chickens. maybe its more puffy? is that what I should be looking for?

its also hard to see because it is caked with mud or something. Not sure if she wants me to give her a foot soak LOL!

Bumble foot is a swollen foot pad, but also will have a scab like, "plug" in the center of the foot pad. You should clean off her foot--soak it in warm salt water--even if she kicks, hold it in the water, then gently clean off any dirt with a soft brush, like an old toothbrush or something....keep us posted!

OK, I've been sick so I have no energy to go down there. but I will try and go down there today and check on it. just really weak with no energy.

OK, she is standing today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she's still favoring one foot, but she is standing. woohooo!!! I can't tell on the bumblefoot though. I'm guessing no.
