Limping chicken - sores?

Recommended Posts

Can you help please? I've noticed a very slight limp on Nutmeg, on checking her feet noticed a small black scab on one foot and on the other a large swelling on her 'sole'. It's quite swollen and puffy but doesn't feel like pus, they have a branch to climb up and down from their house but occasionally jump off the top of the roof down into the run when I come to feed them brekkie, some links say it could be them landing on the ground from a high area but they do have a soft landing bark and soil. There doesn't seem to be an entry hole on the swollen foot would bathing in epsoms salts help,? should I keep her confined for a while? Advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Kathy
