Good morning #Nostr ☀️ I am here for your advice and help 🙏 One of our little chicken has leg problem. The knee joint seems swollen and red (but not hot), the chicken cannot walk properly but it eats normaly. Do you have any advise what to do? It is broiler chicken 10 days old. #asknostr #chickenstr #homestead image

I've only read of bumble foot and a treatment in epsom salts bath, but due to translation I can't even tell if it could cover joints as well.😒 But magnesium bath couldn't hurt.

I've seen people cutting a hole in the lid of the plastic Ikea box, putting hen's head through and locking the body in that box with a bath, so she stays there soaking with just a head and neck out. But it applies to the feet of a grown animal.🤷🏻‍♀️
