Hello,
I have a 5 year old Brahma hen that stopped laying early this year.
Beginning a few weeks ago, we noticed her limping. I suspected bumble foot when I saw the bottoms of her feet were pink but there was no obvious bumble present. I have done epsom soaks and the limping has stopped but the feet are still pink and there is still no bumble present.
I have noticed she has continued to become more pale and lethargic over the last couple of days and as I was cleaning the coop I noticed a lot of signs of bright green poop. I assessed her crop and it appears to be full.
We don’t have a vet in town that deals with chickens and I’m not sure how to proceed or what it could be.
I appreciate any advice
**note- her bottom is wet in the photo from a soak
