So Cleo has hardly been eating or drinking and her comb has paled. One of her eyes keep shutting- as if she is very sleepy as shown. I'm not sure if it is a mosquito bite because there isn't any obvious swelling:
Also she seems to be very depressed lately, hardly moving except to go in and out of the coop. I suspect it may be something to do with her limp. She seems to be putting all her weight on her left foot. Her feet are also quite swollen and has a case of flaky leg mites. I'm not sure if the flaky leg mites are the cause to her limp because the mites have infected a large number of our other chickens and they seem to be fine. This is the image of her feet:
I know they look terrible, but the strange thing is that she has been putting all her weight on her swollen foot and her other foot seems visibly okay, apart from the scaly leg mites and a bit of a scab from the scales coming off as a result scaly leg mites. It doesn't look like she has bumble foot on that leg but perhaps it could be a bacterial infection from the scab? But it seems like she is in a lot of pain when she puts weight on that leg. Apart from treating the scaly leg mites I don't know what to do or how I can help her to stop limping and start to eat and drink. Could someone please help us, it would be so greatly appreciated!
