This is more a story about your chickens, which was a good read, but probably doesn't belong in the coop section as it has one sentence about the coop.

I'd love to have less blurry pictures and did try a tripod and remote, the results were beautiful but not realistic, what the camera saw was not what the human eye perceives, and I don't want to freak out neophyte candlers who aren't seeing anything close to what the picture shows, sort of like the Northen Lights, I see smoky clouds but the camera gets all these fabulous colors, grrrr. I'll keep working on adjusting the balance but realistic pictures in this project is far more important than photo quality.

I’m a retired poultry microbiologist formerly ARS, USDA; I don’t usually post formal scientific articles here, just trying to use lay-persons terms. A few of my heavier hens had bumble foot years ago thus no pix. I wasn’t thinking about taking pics while I was treating them. I’m sorry. I’ve not had any incidents since I moved my flock to higher ground with less moisture. I tried to explain after care by mentioning maintenance of keeping foot and habitat clean, etc. I agree it’s best to be less invasive while treating which is why I said not to cut too deep or cause stress to your bird(s).
Be careful about which ointments you apply because they most likely will be ingested by birds being treated or other flock members picking at fallen bandages. I recommend non toxic tea tree oil as additional antiseptic or Manuka honey as wound ointment while treating/healing. My avian vet agreed with both those options. Thanks for your input.
