I have 2 d'Uccles with heavily feathered feet and one is limping. Can anyone share any special care I need to be giving them to manage their feet?
 
Is it limping because its feathers have something caught in them or because of an injury such as bumblefoot?

If the feathers are causing a problem, I would suggest carefully clipping them away. The chickens can have time to heal before they grow back and the legs can be washed with soap and water to get them clean.

Feel free to ask any other questions.

Best of luck!

I checked for bumble foot and they are clean. She also seems to be favoring her wing. Aughhhh these cute chickens are beyond me!
