Pictures and a video would help. Check the bottom of her feet for a little black spot, she may have bumblefoot.

@LaFleche @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive may be of more assistance

No
We believe she climbed on top of our brooder area and got her foot caught in the hardware cloth(mesh) Her belly was red and missing a few feathers when we found her limping. She can still move the leg and flex her toes.

Not bumblefoot, some kind of injury in her upper leg i think

I would just keep a close eye on her then for a little while. I know you can give baby aspirin for pain but I’m not sure of the dosage.

The foot may be sprained or broken. Any color changes or swelling?
An epson salt foot bath may help with swelling, if it is swollen.

So far we have been watching her and giving extra tlc for 3 days with no improvement

Is she eating and drinking okay?
