Hello everyone, o walked out this morning to see one of my girls laying on the ground, barley able to walk. When I looked closer her thigh was huge, a little smaller than a golf ball and hard. The skin around it was a purple pink color and she had a scab that was yellow. She showed no signs yesterday morning but I did not see her before she went in last night. I quarantined her and I don’t know want to do, I have attached some pictures.

Make sure that she can get to the food and water, and is taking some. Can she stand and walk to get to food? A large mass like that could be an injury, a tumor, or an ingrown feather cyst. Hard sounds like tumor, but a vet might be helpful. An ingrown feather can sometimes cause an abscess and that can be explored with a sterilized needle to look for a feather underneath. Could she have a broken bone under there? Could you try to see a vet?
