My hen can't put weight on her foot

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with your hen. Until you can find the source of her pain, it would be advisable to restrict her movement by putting her in a crate with lots of thick bedding and bump up the nutrition in her feed while she recovers.

Welcome to BYC. Have you felt around her hips and leg joints for tenderness, swelling, or heat? How high are your roosts? The larger chickens should be using lower roosts as they can injure their hips, legs, and feet jumping down from high spots.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I too would post those pictures in the ER forum @N F C linked for you above.

We’re glad you’re here, and I hope your hen gets better.
