I noticed this past week she was limping around alot. I waited to see if it would get better but so far it hasn't. I caught her today and put her in a seperate pen with food & water. I wanted to take a picture but didn't have time this morning before work. I did notice that the Metatarsal Pad has some swelling in it compared to the other foot. Could this just be a sprain from jumping off the roost? Should I add some aspirin to her water? Anyone know how long it takes for a sprain to get better? I hate to keep her seperated for to long because she will then lose her pecking order in the main flock.
