Looking for suggestions.. injured leg/foot

[Goulais Girl]

Hey everyone, one of my Lakenvelders has a hurt leg/foot. I had to separate my Roos and am now getting rid of them. She was a target, they wouldn't even let her eat. She is now started eating a bit and is growing, but walks with a limp. She still sits under the cedar tree a lot and peeps. Hoping someone might know from a video of it's a break or strain?

It won't let me upload, saying file is too large. Anyone I could email it too?

You can post a video to YouTube, and post a link here. Sprains or even broken bones can be possible. That might require some forced rest in a crate, but left with the other chickens to remain part of the flock. Put in her own food and water, and I like to use some Vitamin B complex--1/2 tablet daily in the food or in a treat. If you are able to get a vet to xray the limb, that could rule out a fracture.

I cannot find the video. Can you post a link? Do you see any bruising or swelling on the leg from the ankle up to the hip? Look at the bottom of her foot for any sores, cuts, etc.

No cuts or sores, I don't think I see any swelling? She did actually do a little better today, when I went to check them, she was out from under the cedar tree and laying down on the grass with a couple of other girls! First time she's been out in the open since I removed the boys! If you tell me your name on FB, I will tag you in the post. I really just don't want to set up a YouTube account! LOL!!
