here is how i have finally dealt with bumble, and am in the process of trying it on a couple others- seems the combination of betadine and sugar brings the infection towards the scab and it solidifies, so all i had to do was to scrape the scab off and massage the foot, working the kernel loose-...

Quote: yes i was reading info on the causes- we live in eastern oklahoma, very rocky- since this all started, i lowered the roosts, need to add more bedding to the run, its possible thats a problem- i'll keep you all posted on how she does- by the way, is an oral antibiotic a good idea? i...

i did find this- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=204587 so now i am going to do more research- from what i gather, ingesting it is the danger?

i have a couple i am battling this with, one girl is clearing up after dabbing it 4 times a day with teatree oil, and she is confined, her buddy has a worse case and looking at it this morning i am afraid i will have to do the surgery- its worth a try with the teatree oil though in early cases-...

ok, rounded roosts- lower to the floor- right now they are 4 feet, should they be lowered? ordered some of the Tricide, need to get the distilled water- checked my hens other foot- 2 black spots... sheesh! so with the soak, it should clear up in a couple days?
