Darla is about a year old. A while back we discovered she had our first case of bumblefoot. I tried just about everything I could find and do believe it is healing. But Darla is still not herself. She's not active, has droopy feathers, and a pale comb/wattle. This is our 3rd year with chickens so I'm still learning! We moved to a bigger coop and have started free ranging more. Sadly this year we've been hit with a whole variety of issues that we never had before. It started with bumblefoot in the rainy season. And most recently we've had to treat the flock for worms.
I've been trying everything I can to nurse her back to health. She was seperate from the flock for awhile, seemed to be getting better and today when they all came out she just stood there with her eyes closed looking so sad. I want to help her if I can, so any suggestions are welcome.
