This first picture is of his left foot, which seems to have a smaller bumblefoot infection: The second one is the bigger concern though. Keep in mind that the purple color is not from the infection, but the blue kote we put on it. There also seems to be a yellow spot, which wasn't there before:

Does it need to be a vet who specializes in poultry or fowl? I live in Land O' Lakes Tampa Bay, and I don't know of any in the area

Unfortunately I’m not with him right now, but as soon as I am, I’ll share some images. There are pictures on the previous threads I have on him though, the swollen and apparent bumble is actually on his middle toe. We didn’t remove any kernel or pus because we didn’t manage to see any. All we...

Yes, we soaked his foot for an hour and it was still super tough to get past the scab

My family and I have tried to remove our rooster’s bumblefoot, but the scab is so thick, and no matter how dig we deep, there’s no pus, no kernel, or anything—just blood and only blood. I’m honestly at a loss and stumped on what to do. Anything would help at this point. Thanks — Harun

Hey, it's me, Harun. I haven't been on this platform for a while, but I just wanted to make an update in my rooster and his bumblefoot. It's gotten quite a bit worse, and I'm not sure what to do. His middle toe is super swollen, and I'm wondering if I should try and take it upon myself to try...

I didn't manage to find a kernel, but I did manage to remove some sort of pus, I believe. Real gooey, almost gelatinous in substance. I couldn't tell for sure if it was puss, but it seemed like it was.

I've been trying for a total of 2 hours today with no luck. I've soaked his foot for over half the time trying and still can't get the scab off. I tried picking at it and it just won't come off no matter what I do. It's like it's so deep in his foot that it just won't budge. I even picked at it...

Yeah, I was using Epsom salt and realized after every soaking session that his scab was loosening up, but I just didn't have enough time on my hands to keep doing it. Next time I try I'll soak it for as long as I need to until it's soft enough.

I did have my brother holding Ares as I worked away at the scab. Is there any proper technique to removing it? Do you just pick at it like a regular scab, or do you apply pressure around the edges as you would with a zit?

So, I tried my hand at the procedure yesterday and didn't have much luck. I soaked Ares' foot for about 15 minutes, and tried to work the lesion out, but was unsuccessful. Then I soaked it for about 10 more minutes and tried again, but still couldn't get it out. Finally, I tried one last time...

That’s excellent to hear! Gives me more hope that the procedure will work on my rooster. I’m currently getting the correct supplies for it, and am wondering how it went for you. Was it hard removing the lesion or easy? How long did you have to soak her until the toepad was softened up?

I've heard that in bumblefoot there is also a kernel. Will I have to sift through his foot and remove it once I remove the black lesion?

Thank you for all of the information. How much time do I have to treat him until it's too late? Are there any long-term effects after the bumblefoot is treated?

Hello, Harun here👋 Chickens have been doing well, but I'm thinking my rooster Ares might have bumblefoot. I don't think he's walking abnormally, but the perches in the roosts are really quite high, and one of his middle toes are swollen. Please ket me know what you think, and the procedures I...

She pants from time to time, but in the afternoon it can get very hot where I live, otherwise I don’t see her panting much. And yes, both hens came from the same place.

A while ago, I noticed one of my hens picking up a bit of weight on her behind. I felt her lower abdomen, and although it did feel slightly bigger than the other hens, I decided to leave her, but remained speculative. Now, her lower abdomen feels substantially bigger than it did last time, and...

Thank you. Unfortunately, yes, his eye no longer works, but he still functions well and remains to live a happy life with his hens.

Hey everyone. Long time no see. I haven't posted recently because everything about my chickens has been pretty uneventful. However, my rooster has a swollen middle toe and there's a large black spot under it. I'm hoping it's not bumblefoot because the roosts in their coop are pretty high. If so...
