Rooster has infected dew claw. The claw is broken off. Leg is swollen and warm to the touch. Soaking it twice a day in benedine and hot water. Suggestions please.
 
If you can upload a pic, that would be helpful. It could be bumblefoot, but without seeing, we really can't tell what you are dealing with.
 
I have done surgery on my Easter Egger twice for bumblefoot. I can walk you thru instructions on how to do the surgery. It's not bad. As long as you have a strong stomach. It almost instantly relieves the chicken. Because bumblefoot is an infection, it can kill them. So you need to treat asap.
