In the Brooder
Good Morning Everyone -
I have a 2 year old Easter Egger named Speckles who has been heavily limping for the last week. I initially considered bumblefoot and started soaking in Epsom salts and tea tree oil and applying Neosporin/Vetricyn and vet wrap. I didn't see much improvement so then I considered scaley leg mites and did a gas dip + vaseline. I've moved her to a brooder and have continued soaks, but am worried I'm reaching a point where I need to make a decision about quantity vs. quality of life. She has also completely stopped laying. I only have 4 girls in a small backyard flock, so she is definitely a pet. Looking for any advice and or input.
THANK YOU in advance!
