Hey all
I had to do the surgery and I didn’t get it all!!! What do I do?!!!
My pekin has yet another case of bumblefoot. She must’ve hit the tip of her toe as there was the black scab but it was really small. I just pulled it off. Well then I noticed her big toe in the middle had a swollen...
Hi guys
Hoping someone with experience can help and calm my chicken loving nerves
One of my girls I discovered on Saturday limping. Checked her feet and it’s the dreaded bumblefoot. Been doing lots of research so have been Epsom salt bathing everyday twice a day, using Vetericyn, iodine, saline...
We had a hen with bumblefoot on both feet. One had a big "corn kernal" removed by cutting the foot open. The other had it removed with some tweezers and less surgery. We soaked in Epsom salts before and after the surgeries. She no longer has any puss or infection coming out of the foot, even...
Hi All,
One of my ducks Lilly had developed some swelling around her toe which turned out to be bumblefoot (pic 1). Lilly was taken to the vet and the bumblefoot was drained/removed and her foot wrapped. It has been 6 days since then and she has developed a new black scab. Is this normal or...
My girls have always been prone to bumble foot, therefore I have treated them quite a few times.
However; about 2-3 weeks ago, one of my hen’s feet were swollen. I soaked her feet in epsom salt 2xs a day for a week or so. No improvement.
One of my others hens has a slightly swollen foot too…I...

Hello everyone,
Let me preface this by saying that I am a grad student that lives at my parents house. If I seem uninvolved in this situation, that's why. My mom does most of the chicken work!
Recently, one of our silkies has developed swollen toes and feet. I noticed it about a week ago. Her...
My almost 2 y/o GLW is prone to annual bouts of bumblefoot, usually beginning in the winter of each year. Last winter we didn't catch it until it had severely progressed (we were new to chicken-keeping and didn't even know what bumblefoot was at the time). Luckily, a vet ended up performing...
Bumblefoot is a condition that can affect all domestic foul despite breed or age. It may be a scary sight. But fear not! For your fluffy gal (or roo) will get better in no time.

Hi folks,
Glad to be here and just wanted to share the miraculous recovery of our hen Cleo.
I explain the story in the video but a few things I didn't mention that I want to clarify:
1. After her bumblefoot surgery, she seemed ok, but then she stopped laying and her whole body swelled up...
Our 9 month old Oliver Egger, Fern developed bumblefoot just over a week ago. Upon first inspection she had the telltale black spot on the pad of her foot and swelling between two of her toes. This is our first case of bumblefoot and I believe a thorn caused it. We regularly clean our coop and...
Hi everyone!
So, last year I had done Brownie's bumblefoot procedure for the first time. During the process no corn kernal had come out.
I did the process again 2 days ago after lots and lots of warm water soaks for many days and removed his scab. A bit of infection like thing came out but...
My duck has been walking with a bad limp for a while now and it started off with the middle toe being swollen and a scab (I think it was black but with her dark skin it's hard to tell). I put her on anti-biotics (in her water) for a week. No effect. I went on holiday for two weeks and when I...
my duck suddenly stopped walking about 4 days ago, after a few clicks on Google and looking at his feet all I could come up with was bumblefoot. I called all the vets in town, no one would see him.. And i was very hesitant on how to treat him.. I soak his feet im epsom salt water and peeled the...
I've posted before about my ~1 year old GLD who had severe bumble foot on the bottoms of both feet a few months back. She had surgery, and had since healed beautifully. Sadly, the last few days we've been getting abnormally torrential rains and it's been next to impossible to keep her run dry...
Hi! We recently dealt with a double-bumblefoot issue in one of our hens that was pretty far along. We had the vet do surgery to remove the plugs (she had one on each foot). We then have been soaking, cleaning, and bandaging her for the last 2 months, hoping we wouldn't have to do another...
After doing a flock check, discovered 2 of our birds had severe bumblefoot. Both birds are 1 1/2 years old. After doing some research, a friend suggested we follow the instructions from The Chicken Chick for treatment. https://the-chicken-chick.com/bumblefoot-causes-treatment-warning/

So I’m new to this site and I also did Bumblefoot surgery for the first time. I’m posting pics to get opinions on if it looks like I got it all out? I have her separated and her foot wrapped up that I’ll check in a few days.
Thanks for any responses!
