Dear BackYard fans,
My 7 months old hen started limping after she finished her broody now she is limping so badly and her hock has become green i dont know what to do help me please ! !! !

Which part of her leg is green? Have you checked for injuries and underside of foot. Can you post a pic?

 

[Kosta Puleri]

It is only a small localized area. If she's been broody it could be a circulation issue, how long has she been off the nest? Try soaking her leg in a warm Epsom salts bath for ten minutes . Are you sure it's not an old break?

 

[Kosta Puleri]

She is off the nest for 2 weeks and i don't think that is an old break. I am doing her warm bath .

 

[Kosta Puleri]

Yesterday i gave her a little antibiotic ( tetraciclin ).

 

[Fancychooklady]

I would soak her leg daily and continue the antibiotics for at least a week. Does her leg smell?

 

[Kosta Puleri]

No it does not smell. i want to say you that she eats and drinks very well.
