Limpy Gimpy

[Symphony]

My hen Gimpy, is limpy, I left her for two weeks thinking it was just a sprain, its gotten worse, I need help, what should I do.

Thanks in advance.

Could be several things; bumblefoot, scaly leg mites, sprained ligament/muscle, gout. Inspect your hen for one or more of these problems.

I inspected her before posting, its not: scaly leg mites. The things I'v never heard of is: bumblefoot, and gout, what would those look like?

I don't know anything about gout but bumble foot is a swollen area on the bottom of the foot with a dark center/sore. If you search it there are a lot of good pictures to help you identify and treat if that is it.

Its not that.
