Hopping on 1 foot and feather's missing

[Bairefoot]

Hen hopping on 1 foot. Cleaned foot and leg did not see a thing wrong. Then noticed feathers missing on butt and chest. On the chest it is a real red patch. She seem's oh okay but still hopping around. I have her in a different pen from the rest. Any one have any comment's on what might be wrong.

Welcome To BYC

Can you post some photos of the hen and her feet/legs?
How long have you had her?
What type of food/treats do you feed?
How old is she?

and when did you notice this? do you check them often ?

No swelling, no cuts, no redness. I have had her for about 6 months. Feed her and the others laying mash. She is about 3 years old. Give her and the others meal worms some times. I check them ever day. She started this about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Put her in another pin started feeding her high protein feed and she has stopped laying. She is still hopping around and the closes vet is 100 miles away.

you'd have to get an xray . i mean as long as she's still able to get up and walk around, then that's a good thing. When they have to lie down constantly and use their wings to move around - BAD sign

Thank you for the photos.

While it's a little hard to see in the pictures, I would re-take a look at the foot - is there a scab or wound on the foot pad?

Also, I was looking back at your posts - you mention feathers missing from butt and chest. She's stopped laying eggs too, she's 3 years old.
If you felt of her abdomen between below her vent, between the legs - does she feel bloated or swollen?

Also what percentage is the high protein feed?
Sorry for all the questions!
For the foot, if there is a scab/wound on there, getting a better photo would help. It may be Bumblefoot which can be treated. Sometimes it's painful and causes them to limp or not want to put weight on the foot.

Took the chicken today and soaked her feet in epson salt water. Took a tooth brush and cleaned both feet. No sign of cut or anything. Feathers are growing back in. No sign of egg being lodged in her. Feeding her 16% feed. Sending you new pictures of both feet. I don't see anything wrong. Can you see anything.
