Please Help!!!! :(

My 13 week old feather footed Dark Brahma Bantam is limping! I have checked both legs and feet thoroughly. Seems to be more on the left foot but not for sure. I know its not Bumblefoot. Could she have jumped from a perch and hurt it? Or maybe something is wrong with one of the feathers on her foot? Any help would be great! Thanks.

Is it eating/drinking? Have you noticed any other symptoms?

 

[Chick1043]

No. Eating normal, drinking normal, no pale comb at all, feet aren't hot at all....I dunno what else to look for! :

It's real hard to help diagnose without being there so.....
I would put her in a crate and keep her rested and perhaps some extra protein for muscle repair? See if time and rest help.

Depending on how long she's been limping, I would keep an eye on it. She may have hopped down from the roost and landed on it wrong or she could have been stepped on and so on. Maybe one of the feathers on her leg has broken? It may just go away over a period of days.

Thanks. She doesn't limp while walking so much anymore. Mostly when she runs.
