Leg injury!

[Salty Cookie]

A Partridge Wyandotte bantam hen cannot put weight on her leg and standing on one leg. The bump in the circle in the picture seems to be larger than the other leg and the joint feels a bit bigger than the other one. Is the joint dislocated or is it slipped tendon or...? I applied epsom salt poultice and she is in a small crate with feed and water now.

I believe I see a brown scab at the bottom of her foot indicating bumblefoot.....
There are two options: at-home surgery (in cases of severe bumblefoot,) or several Epsom salt soaks.

Nevermind my guess....I zoomed up more on the two pics and I don't see a scab, but you should check just in case
I found this site that provides some info on slipped tendons.

I know your post isn’t new, but I really wanted to comment. I hope your bird’s problem wasn’t a slipped tendon. I’m dealing with that now and realize it’s rare for a good resolution.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. She is doing fine. I don't know what it was, but she got better and then did it again one more time. The second time, I noticed her limping when I opened the coop door in the morning. She was walking back to normal when I saw her in the afternoon. Maybe a rooster did something...??? I just hope it won't happen again!
