Howdy friends!

I have a Jersey giant hen who can't put weight on her foot.

Last year, she got bumblefoot in both feet and we found her outside unable to stand. We successfully removed the infection from both feet but it took her 3 months to be able to walk again.

10 months later she got bumblefoot again. However, it's her other foot that she can't put weight on NOT the one she got the infection in.

We cannot see what's wrong with her other foot. There's are no scratches, wounds or anything of the sort.

I hope it's not a bone infection from the bumble foot.

Thanks for your help!

Welcome To BYC

Has the non-bumblefoot leg/foot been wrapped recently?
I wonder what that "ledge" is on the back of the leg, it's odd. Did she have a band/i.d. on her leg?

I see a cut/abrasion on the topside of the feet, maybe inspect that.
