Okay so my light brahma hen is limping. She stands on one foot not putting weight on the other- the injured one. Now because she's a Brahma it's hard to view her feet correctly, her legs and toes being feathered. Her foot feathers have always been broken, pulled out or missing- and it has never presented her problems with walking(caused limping) scales would be cracked becase of the feathers trying to grow and her feet would bleed because of this. Id put her in a clean kennel and shavings when this would happen. So there is nothing unusual about her feet considering that has always been a problem. I don't see any cuts or scabs on her feet- I see broken feathers like normal and maybe a little bit of swelling that hasn't changed since yesterday but now she's curling her toes whenever I try to look (like she's making a fist). She only uses two of her toes to put weight on when she limps- the two inside front toes she won't put pressure on the back of her foot, pad and right most toe. So I can't figure out what's is wrong with her foot having no visual clues-... I've looked for signs of bumblefoot
