Hi,
I have a year old hen who is lame in her right foot. I can see no injury, no bumblefoot, feel no injury to her leg bone and she is not eggbound. She also has had a rough molting season so I have brought her inside (in the house) for a few days of vacation from the rain and other chickens. I have tried foot baths with epsom salts but am out of ideas. Anyone have an idea I haven't thought of?

she's been living in my tub for last 3 days. no hopping - but still no weight on the foot. she may have been stepped on by one of my 2 pygmy goats but this has been going on for a couple of weeks. poor unlucky girl - she lost eyesight in one eye last year from over aggressive rooster - but recovered beautifully.
