Thanks guys. I put her in our smaller enclosed coop/run and she is waddling around in there. We examined here again this morning and it seems to be the upper portion of her right leg. Nothing visible, & doesn't seem swollen but she doesn't want to extend it. It seems to shake when she tried...

Nasty right back toe...ewe

Would love some thoughts on my 1-1/2 yr old Jubilee. Yesterday we noticed her walking funny & not keeping up with her flock. She is a little shortie (poor thing) & sleeps in a higher nesting box (maybe 2-1/2' to 3' high). Her legs apprear fine, but her right foot has a toenail that appears...

Thanks so much! Happy to be here!
