Thanks for the advice, we will trim her feathers and apply wound spray and the antibiotics.
Not sure if she is emptying her crop or not, that side is swollen so it is hard to tell.
We do have a rooster, however he is very gentle and does not injure the hens at all.
Her wing is not hanging down at all, that is not what she is tripping on. She is raising her leg to her body and tripping over her own chest.
We got some more pictures today. Hopefully they make it a little...
Hello.
We suspect frostbite because it is black and swollen, and my area is very cold at this time, with temperatures below freezing. It is just a guess though.
The bird is around 4-5 months. We think she is a Rhode Island Red.
The black spot is very large and hard, and her breast is swollen...
My chicken has a swollen hard spot on her breast and under wing, and when I checked it, there was a big black splotch. She is tripping because of it when she walks. What is it? My theory is frostbite, but I'm not sure. Thanks.
