There are varying opinions on when to preform the bumble foot surgery. I have just noticed bumble foot of varying degrees on my flock. I am not afraid to do the surgery however I don't want to cut my birds if I don't have to. Here is one mild case. Would you cut this out? I am changing my roosts in order to prevent reoccurrence but I can't help our dreadful wet winter we had this year thankfully it's almost over so I can replace all of the compacted soil dirt and sand around the coop! Please any advice on weather to cut out the infections or alternatives are welcome. But I have a young busy family and don't have endless time to soak chicken feet daily for weeks on end
