I have a 5 month old silkie chick who's been having some issues with her right foot. I've had my eye on it for a while now, since she's been kind of wobbly, but today when I went outside to check on her, she had a pretty bad limp. We've checked and rechecked her foot and leg and haven't seen or felt anything wrong with it. There's no sign of injury or bumblefoot. She went to the vet a few days ago to get her crossbeak trimmed and the vet took a look at her to see if anything was wrong with her leg. The vet didn't find anything wrong either. She's eating, drinking, talking, and otherwise healthy, but she definitely hasn't been wanting to stand very much lately. She'll get up to go get treats or forage, and last night she was perching, but she doesn't want to put much weight on her foot and kind of kicks it up high in the air. Do you think she could have sprained it or pulled a muscle or something??? She's a little bit of an odd ball chicken and her extra toes don't point up like they should, and point down instead. Her extra toe on her right foot also kind of fuses with her normal back toe. Could that maybe be messing with her a little??? Any help is appreciated!
