Mornin’.
I’m new to all this but this morning I found one of my sussex/rhode island hens appearing to be injured. Hopefully these photos post. She’s favoring her right leg over left and when on the ground it appears very swollen but not when I pick her up. Just wondering if anyone sees something I don’t. Also I’m adding some photos of her scalp that looks pecked and her breast is bare. Now just know she looked this rough when I bought her from a friend but any advice or if anyone sees anything I would appreciate some advice.

It looks like a small cut between the toes on the left foot, as well as swelling at the left lower leg. I would look at it more closely, and consider soaking the legs in warm Epsom salts or some disinfectant and water. Let us know if it is indeed cut.
