Potential bumble foot. Please help

[Pepperthechicken]

We have a Black star hen who has started limping on her left foot. We don't know what it is but one hypothesis is that she has bumble foot.

The picture above is the problem foot. The picture below is of her right foot

Does anyone know what she could have?

Please

I don't see an obvious bumble.

Age of hen please. Feet change as they age.

How badly is she limping? Does she put any weight on it? It does look swollen.

 

[Pepperthechicken]

She is almost 5 years-old. She does put a little weight on it but she takes some time to step

What's her diet like?
Type of feed, protein percent, all treats she gets...

 

[Pepperthechicken]

Purina 16% layer feed. She gets treats semi often like corn, scratch grains, and greens. She eats the same as her two sisters who seem fine. She also is still laying

I asked about the feed in case it was a mild case of gout.

The feed sounds fine.

How long has she been limping?
I am thinking it's more likely a sprain.

 

[Pepperthechicken]

She has been limping for 4-5 days. It was very sudden. The coup ramp was at a pretty steep angle which has been fixed.

I would keep an eye on her for the next 4-5 days. Repost or update here if it gets worse.

You can give her a baby aspirin for pain. It may offer her some relief.
