I have a six month old Silky Bantam Rooster that Im looking for a good home. I also have a six month old Labelle rouge chicken that seems to be having a hard time walking. Not sure if its because she so fat or maybe has bubble foot. I thought she was having trouble laying because she has her tail feathers down, walks a few steps and flares her vent often. She is walking with a limp so maybe its bubble foot. How can i treat her for that?
 
Sorry it took so long to respond.

Bumble foot can be spotted if you pick her up and check the underside of her foot for swelling and a scab.

Walking with the tail down may be a sign of an ill bird or one that has egg yolk peritonitis or even a hen that is egg-bound (which can cause leg problems). Are there any other symptoms?
