View attachment 1924378 My chicken will not use her one leg. She won't come out of the coop on her own because she won't go down the ramp and won't go in the coop at night on her own because she won't go up the ramp! When she's on flat ground, she tries to hop on one leg but is often unsuccessful and it results in her using her wings to catch herself- it's a very sad sight to see
She has a toe nail that's been missing since I got her (you'll notice in the picture) but upon further inspection it seems her middle toe is crooked and has a lump on it. Is this a broken toe? I'm not sure if it was like this before or not.
It's been 2 days now and no improvement, wondering what is wrong and if there is anything I can do at home for her?
Sorry the picture isn't the best (dirt and mud from the rainy week we've had here), but I couldn't wash her foot off by myself.
