Limping Easter Egger

[Bp10244]

A few weeks ago we had a fox attack and we lost 2 hens. While the Easter Egger didn’t have any obvious wounds, her feathers were scattered around so we know that something happened. Fast forward a week, she started limping and now she hops around on one foot. Is this residual affects from the Fox or is it something else. She also has only laid 2 eggs since (May 20).

She might have gotten an infection from the fox bite? I would look her over for red, swollen, hot spots on her that might point to infection...

she could have also gotten a sprain. is the leg broken? I'm assuming not, but its always good to check. yes, feel for hot areas. is she eating and drinking?

Yes she is eating and drinking. I took a picture of the foot in case it could be bumble foot possibly? I did not see any hot areas but I will check for a break.
