Some are i
I accidentally stepped on one of my hens feet a year ago and she still has a swollen foot. Now she has a hard lump between 2 toes and bumblefoot at the tips of her toes at the base of her toenails. Soaking hasn't helped so I may have to cull her.
My favorite hen had it once before but she was treated and healed a year ago (3 months of foot soaks and wraps ) None of them have a severe case now and none are limping.
I presently use vinyl flooring on the wood floor underneath the roosting bars but will be switching to these plastic kennel panels in my next build.They come in 2 foot by 5 foot sections that can be secured to a wood frame base
Our property is rocky so my chickens walk on rocks and sticks all day long.We also have a lot of fill dirt on the property esp around the chicken coop and run .Presently 3 of my older hens have it and 2 hens I got as chicks last fall. I've read deficiencies in their diet can make them more...
