Hello!
I am looking for advice.. something is wrong with one of my silkie chickens.
A few days ago she had inflammation in her leg. The leg was swollen thoroughly. (In fact, it is still swollen). Now her wing also is inflamed and swollen and there is a painful lump under her wing. I give her antibiotics (Amoxicillin, 2-3 times a day), but the inflammation does not diminish. She does not eat much and remains weaker.. I don't know what to do. :(
Please, help!

How old is your silkie? The legs look like there are scaley leg mites, but with the swelling, it sounds like tumors or possibly Mareks disease. Can you take her to a vet? Scaley leg mites can be treated with warm sudsy soaks to the leg, gently scrubbing with an old toothbrush, then applying an oil such as castor oil, vaseline, crisco, etc. onc a week.
