Me again, it's been a rough week. I just lost a hen this morning
This afternoon I go outside to play inthe chicken garden with the girls and I see my EE is laying down kinda on her side, leaning up against a post. Unlike her for prime cricket hunting time.
I go to get a closer look- she's limping, panting, standing like a flamingo on one leg only and her tail feathers are downwards.
I searched on the byc and the bumble foot cases look so severe compared to what I see.
Her crop was more empty than normal at this time of evening, so she happily ate a small handful of mealworms before laying down for bed. I do not see a sore or a point of entry. I don't see anything foreign and I can tell you it was not like this 5 hours ago. the treatment I noticed for bumblefoot with the cleaning iodine, putting an ointment on it and wrapping it is my plan for tomorrow unless I hear advice to move in a different direction. Thank you guys in advance
