Swollen feet

[Mayochick]

I just noticed My 6 month old Buff Orphington has somewhat swollen feet. She is completely normal eating, drinking running around, healthy poop etc. should I be worried or take her to a vet? Here are some photos

Can you post a pic of the bottoms of her feet? Particularly looking for a black-looking scab or large lump on the bottom (and that would be bumblefoot).

Yes I will send a pic later. I have no help to pick her up, and take a picture, she moves to much, but I did check under her feet, and there’s no bump or black spot it’s just swollen. I was also checking if it was bumblefoot.

@azygous can you help?

I see no problems with her feet other than perhaps some minor irritation on her scales. In case this is the beginning of a leg mite infestation, it's easy enough to give her legs and feet a nice long soak in warm Epsom salts with a dash of Dawn detergent, say, twenty minutes. Dry the legs and feet and apply a thick coating of castor oil all over her feet and legs. I use a small paint brush and push the oil deep under any scales that seem to be lifting away from the legs. Then turn her loose to resume her normal activities regardless of what you may think of the oily mess. It's temporary.

Castor oil is thick and has natural antibiotic/antifungal properties and will remain on the legs and feet long enough to smother any mites. It will also soothe any irritated tissue. Repeat in one week.

I’m glad it’s something minor thank you so much! I’ll definitely do that for her hopefully it gets better soon
