Limping Japanese Bantam...

[MelBrown13]

This gal is holding up her leg and limping, but I have no idea why. I initially thought it was bumble foot, but both her feet look the same to me.

Any input, thoughts, and/or suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!

She might have sprained her foot or leg. Sprains may take time to get over. Is their any swelling or green bruising? Look her legs over to see if there are any loose scales or grey crust that could be signs of scaly leg mites.

Agreed.

My Japanese hen was forever getting scaly leg, but even when it was pretty bad she never limped. Just an input; every hen is different.

Anything I can do for her while she heals? Her toes seem like they're not fully "connected" if that makes sense.
