I HAVE A SMALL GRAY BANTAM HEN THAT IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER RIGHT FOOT. SHE WAS LIMPING A FEW DAYS AGO AND I THOUGHT SHE HAD MAYBE SPRAINED IT , NOW SHE HAS SWELLING AND ONE OF HER TOES IS BLACK. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS COULD BE ? I HAVE TRIED TO LOOK UP DISEASES THAT MAY CAUSE THIS AND CAN'T FIND ANY. HELP!!! BRITSNANNY  |

Welcome BritsNanny. 
Do you think your hen may have broken her toe?  A trip to the vet may be in order.
Someone else may come up with an alternative idea soon. |

| I DON'T THINK IT IS BROKEN. HER TOES ARE SCALY AND I RUBBED THEM WITH MINERAL OIL, SHE DIDN'T ACT LIKE IT HURT TO DO THAT PLUS I TRIMMED HER NAILS AND SHE DIDN'T REALLY COMPLAIN, BUT WHEN SHE WAS PUT BACK IN THE LOT SHE WAS STANDING ON THE ONE LEG AGAIN. BRITSNANNY |

Is there a wound anywhere on the foot?
Don't know what to suggest really, but a picture might help if you can get one. |
