Possible sick chicken ?

[Jodeekep]

I've recently dealt with bumble foot, your hen's looks healthy and good, no infection. I leave it alone and it eventually heals itself. This time my hen wouldn't walk, limped when she had to but there was no scab and the lump was on top of her foot. Long story short, I did the soak as recommended and got rid of it.

I have no clue what happened to your hen but a similar incident happen to a pullet that had just started laying. She was fine in the morning, laid her egg, eating/drinking/pooping but in the afternoon when I went out to check on them, I found her dead .... Looked like she was in mid walk. Didn't think of necropsy at the time cause she was fine, weather was cooler at the time. I've since read it happened to others ... no clue. Sorry for your loss.

I had no idea , my first time. Posted what to do and I was told to soak and remove scab and wrap so that’s what I did. I guess now I know for the future if it happens again. I think it was the heat. She was an older bird.

Everyone has their own treatment ... I prefer non - surgical & wouldn't have done anything (as in the past) had hen not started limping, preferring to just sit, which was very odd for her. The 1st link is my experience with having to treat ...
