Sores on Chickens Foot

[TenaciousChic]

Please help... =)
My 2 year old Wyandotte chicken, named Pebbles, has these sores on her foot. I have had her in a wire dog cage in my house trying to observe her and find out what is wrong with her. A week and a half ago, she started holding her leg up, and limping... so I took her in to soak her feet, saw nothing... it got worse, to where she couldn't get up into her coop at night and that is when I brought her in. She was laying down all day long, not eating or drinking like normal. Since she has been in my care in the house, she eats and drinks more, she look more alert, I have been soaking her feet in epsom salt every other day. Her stools seem normal. Can you help with what this may be and how to treat this myself?? Thank you so much!

That looks like Bumblefoot foot to me. It looks fairly mild. So you live near a vet? Oral antibiotics and soaking the foot daily in epson salts and wrapping it with a triple antibiotic ointment may clear everything up on its own.
