Newbie Here with Chicken Issue

[Grecia]

There is already a video of a chicken who looks just like her (same breed and age) walking just like she does. I will find it for you.

 

[Grecia]

Could this be bumblefoot or gout? It is puffier than the other foot.

 

[Grecia]

I wonder whether she could have been pecked in the eye?

She walks just like the chicken in this video:

Thanks for the pus-removing video, Dobie. I don't think I could do that. Watching it made me faint. I wonder whether I could find another chicken lover in the area I could hire?

 

[Grecia]

Praise God! I went out to check on her just now and her left eye has cleared up and is wide open. So weird! But I'm very glad.

Yes. Praise the Lord.

Welcome to BYC! Nice to meet you.

Good luck with your girl!

Thanks for the warm welcome and helpful advice, Everyone. My girl's eye is looking much better.
I just got a little good news. I was able to find the owner of the chicken in the video online, and she wrote back to me: "Hi there. That’s me! Unfortunately I can’t shed any light as to the cause. I did trim her spurs as some suggested, and it made no difference. She is now elderly (outlived her 2 sisters- a surprise to me) and she still kicks when she walks. If you ever get any answers, please come back and update me!"

So maybe it's just a nervous tic or something? Fingers crossed!

How nice that she replied! I hope the fact that her hen has lived to be elderly offers you some relief.
