limping bird

[Chickenman16]

I have a 3 month Sliver Leghorn and today I just started to see that she was limping. After I saw that she was limping, I put her in a different isolated coop. I gave some food and water and last time I checked, she was eating. What else can I do and is this curable?

Check the bottom of her foot. If there is a big black scab-like thing on the pad of her foot, and it is swollen, red, and hot, it is bumblefoot. Google it and treat her right away. It can be serious!

depends on what is causing the limping....Have you checked her over for cuts, breaks, bumps, illness, injury??
Also check the bottom of her feet..look for swelling, or black scabs...this could mean BUMBLEFOOT.

Once you check, lets us know what you found, and we can help from there.


Best Wishes,

It has been a few weeks, she is walking much better and can now fly on a roast 2 feet high. She was not able to do that a couple of weeks ago!
