Hello I have a hen that has swollen feet, ankle and knees. She does not limp and she eats and drink fine . I can tell she is uncomfortable because she likes to perch a lot ( maybe because feet hurt ). I have been soaking her legs in warm water with epsom salt . I don’t think is bumble foot because the swollen is in both feet . I think if could be gout? I could be wrong. She had this for a few weeks . Any idea what it could be and how to help this poor girl ? Pictures not too good but hopefully you can see it .

I really appreciate it

How is she doing now?
She is doing better . I found out that she has gout . I am not giving her any treats for now just her pellets . She still has the swollen but not as bad and she seems more active . I continue with the epsom salt.
Thanks for asking ☺️

Eggs are a good food for gout. does she like cherries? People with gout are supposed to drink sugar free cherry juice

How did you find out the diagnosis? Vet? One of my girls has swelling in both feet, mirror part between toes. What is the gout diet restriction?
