Limping chicken

Was she holding the leg up or dragging it?  Can you see any swelling or bruising  from the toes up to the thigh?  Keep her in the dog crate 1-2 weeks, and re-evaluate her leg after the first week.  Watch her for any new symptoms, and I would add some vitamins or a B Complex tablet to her water daily.

I do actually believe she has "bumblefoot" we get her and 2 other sexlinks from a private owner about a month or two ago and tonight I bathed her in vinegar water and noticed two black sores on both feet. I then proceeded to check my whole flock. No one except all 3 of these girls have it. So im wondering if they developed this before arriving at our place. Im not sure what to do. The other feet look worse but aren't limping. And im reading the "surgical" approach seems more extensive then I feel comfortable doing. Esp because to allow healing I cant place them in my home. I read it tends to only get worse. The one sexlink actually looks like she had it and is healing. Im not sure I can say the same for the others. She didnt seem to mind me picking the scab off but I dont really want to hurt her further.

 

[My Peeps Are Home]

I have 10 chickens, 5 of them are 21 weeks old and 5 of them are 19 weeks old. One of my chickens that are 19 weeks old is the baby and has a very bad limp. The other girl's peck and are being a really big turd to her. I checked out her leg and there seems to be a red mark going down one side of her leg. I don't want a bad side effect on her if I give her a baby aspirin. Is it possible to still eat her eggs if I give her an aspirin??? This is a video of her.
