Jaime Nemitz replied to Vanad's discussion Chicken limping in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Have you heard of bumblefoot? It is like a wart, because there is a "kernal" that you have to get out..... might wanna give it a google and see if you see some similarities. It is treatable.... but it is not fun."
Dawn Janz replied to Vanad's discussion Chicken limping in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Do you have a brand name for what you use? I have Lovely Limpy Loretta who has been down for a long time, maybe that would help her."

Chicken limping
Hi everyone. I've got a question. I have a buff orphington that is barely 8 months old and she is limping on one foot. I checked it and there's no obvious break, blood, or swelling.
