Poult limping with swollen foot

[pattijoiner]

2 week old won’t put pressure on the foot. No visible cuts or wounds. I thought a slipped tendon but didn’t know if the swelling in the foot would be a result of that too? I’m gonna try wrapping it and keeping her in her own little area in the brooder to restrict movement .

In wrapping, leg should be straight from my understanding?

A slipped tendon will cause a swollen hock, not a swollen foot. Bumblefoot or an injury can cause a swollen foot.

I would not wrap the leg but you can try soaking the foot in a warm Epsom salts bath..
