I posted over about a week ago. My chicken's foot is injured. I've kept her inside in a shower enclosure for a week. she used a hammock for a day, but won't tolerate staying in it, so mostly she just stands or lays in her enclosure , sometimes placing injured foot down to take steps, but lifting it more quickly than the other side. she is eating, drinking, laying, and "chattering". I am assuming the hurt part is in the middle portion of the foot, as I thought I noted some swelling there, at the beginning. I tried to reintroduce her to the flock twice, but they quickly picked up on her vulnerability and picked on her. When I next reintroduce, I'll try at night when they are sleepy in the coop. But What should I do? she down't seem to be making any notable progress.
Keep waiting?
Get X-ray?
Does she need a perch?
Just reintroduce her at night and see what happens?
