Leg pain/limping

[chicken jedi]

I am at a loss with our beautiful Rhode Island hen, who is 4 years old and has a bummed leg. The soreness in her leg started at the knee, which is still slightly red. Now it is in the ankle area, redness, very tender but no sore or scab like I’ve had my other hen with bumblefoot. She has been having this for almost a year, at times better. She has been inside resting for nearly 2 weeks now, and it’s really been in that time that it seemed to move more to the ankle.?. We soak daily in a warm epsom bath, which seems to soothe it some.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, I would be so grateful. Thank you

Thought she might know....

How is your chicken?

She is starting to put some weight on it to stretch, take a few steps, but that’s it. I’m stumped on this one, so I keep soaking her leg and letting her rest inside.

Do you have a rooster? Could be a tendon injury. Diet imbalance. What do you feed them?

No rooster, and they get Scratch and Peck soy free food, 16% protein. I also provide them with various fruit, mealworms, grubbies, as treats as well. Hen booster mix added to their water as well.

I would up her protein and give her water soluble vitamins in a single source of water. See if that helps.

Her appetite isn’t the best, so I have worms mixed in her food, and the hen booster has vitamins in it and she gets that in her water as well.
