This is an 8 year old hen. For quite sometime now she had had…an odd gate? Almost like she is waddling, for at least a year now. I’ve never been able to find anything wrong with her. Aside from a pocket a dirt/poop between her toes on one foot, every couple days I “pop” out the little dirt back and she goes on her way. I can’t remember the term for these, but it is not bumble foot.
As of the last week she is struggling to walk and stand. Is she lays down, it is difficult for her to get up. Mobility seems to be her only issue, she does not appear sick otherwise.
I noticed the skin on her legs is a bit odd, so I uploaded a photo to chatGPt and it said scaley leg mites.
Is that what this looks like? Could it be causes lameness or unrelated?
I included a photo of her legs from the front, which appears normal, and then the back, which is abnormal.
Please help, thank you!
