limping chicken

I pretty new at backyard chckening, and I have a hen that’s been limping for the past couple days, and laid a shelless egg yesterday. I’ve got her inside with her own food with plenty of oyster shells. I talked to folks at the local farm supply store, and they suggested I add calcium gluconate...

So my plymouth rock has had a bad limp for about a month now and I can't figure out what on earth is wrong with her leg! Her pad and toes are completely normal, no scabs, bruises, or bumblefoot. Her scales are normal too so no scaly leg mites. I have been examining and re-examining her leg...

About 48 hours ago we noticed our buff brahma was limping. She is about 5 months old. It has been very wet this week and her feathered feed were muddy. We washed and soaked her feet, look around and didn't see anything obvious. We did notice was looked like maybe a small sliver, or a very...

We have a hen that had chicks recently we started noticing that she would stay in the shed more and not walk around in the yard as much. She started limping and we initially thought she had sprained or broken a bone. Yet the next day she developed blisters around her toes. They were filled with...

Yesterday my 1 1/2 year old olive egger hen began to limp her left leg slightly and it progressed throughout the rest of the day. She has full mobility of her left leg but does not want to put any pressure on it. I washed her feet off today and gave her an epsom salt bath and noticed a scab on...

(this is my first time posting so I'm sorry in advance if there are any problems) Three days ago I noticed that one of my 10 month old hens seemed a little off. When I went to give them their food that morning she was standing on top of one of my brooder boxes; looking a bit sulky so I...

I was feeding my chickens when i saw one of my chickens limping and hopping around with their wing dragging, i picked her up and took her inside because i was really worried and when i checked her foot it was limp? i saw a area where it looked like her scales went in and like it was smashed in...

Hi, My Plymouth Barred Rock has been limping and has rales. Any idea on what's going on? She has been limping for over a month, and sits under the waterer (nipple type, we installed them on a Home Depot 5-gal bucket) (probably Kestin score of 2-3) and we noticed her breathing was watery (through...

Yesterday I noticed she was limping. I soaked her foot but didn’t see or feel anything. I noticed her toes are curled when I pick her up. She is still holding that leg up and limping when she walks on it. She is eating and drinking. I’m a new mom and could use the help.

One of my 7 week old barred rocks has a swollen foot. She's been laying around a lot the last 2 days. She's still eating and drinking and seems otherwise normal. There's no scab, so I don't think it's bumblefoot. I was wondering if she broke or dislocated her toe. It stills out at a different...

My 3 y/o EE developed a sudden, severe limp from her right leg. She can still use that leg to scratch at the ground and her head and can stand on both legs but when taking steps cannot put her weight on it, so she has an exaggerated drunken sailor walk where her right side nearly touches the...

Hi, I have a 1.5 year old EE with a swollen and painful right foot. She has significant swelling on top between her toes and her foot pad is firm and enlarged. 6 months ago I took her to vet because of swelling and bumble foot scab on the other (left) foot. The vet noted swelling on bottom of...

My red leghor, Princess Lay A is 18 months old and started molting about a month ago. A couple of weeks ago she stopped wanting to go outside and doesn’t perch at night. She creeps slowly and limps but I can’t find any injuries on her feet. She eats and drinks. The past couple of days I’ve...

Greetings to this wonderful community! I've read so many posts here on treating scaly leg mites. Our hen started limping and from the look of her legs initially, figured it was scaly leg mites. We are about 8 days in with soaking her in vegetable oil to exterminate the mites in her scales. We...

Hello Chicken People, I have a young Black Sex Link pullet (about 5 months old who started laying two weeks ago) who has been favoring her right foot. I noticed it two days ago - she wasn’t quite limping but she was keeping just enough weight off of it for me to notice. I have looked at her...

Hello! It’s been a little while since I’ve been on here! My family and I are now raising 7 Cuckoo Maran hens and one CM rooster. They’re still youngish (about 16 weeks) and are doing well overall. We’re really enjoying watching them, they free range during the day and thankfully the dogs don’t...

My chicken has been limping. She is eating, drinking, and sctratching the ground/foraging but continues to limp. Her foot looks fine (no bumble foot). I’m thinking it is a sprain. Any idea of what else it would be? If it’s a sprain how do I treat her? Sadly, going to the vet is not an option for...

My chick was attacked by something a couple of weeks ago. I had her on support with a couple of sticks and bandages. When I removed the bandages, this was the condition. She cannot stand straight and the right foot keeps tilting towards the left. She cannot balance herself and thus she’s not...

Hello fellow chicken moms and dads! so here I am again asking a question. So I have a black Giant who seems to be limping. Brought her in washed her feet off checked for bumble foot and saw nothing. Checked for hot spots on her hocks and legs doesn’t seem to be any heat. I made a little place...

My 3 yr old hen has been limping for many weeks now. Progressively getting worse. I’ve checked her 100 times for all the usuals, bumblefoot, mites, breaks, egg bound, etc. Nothing. The other hens pick on her if she gets too close. The roo sometimes bullies her. I have to either hand feed her or...
