How to Correctly Wrap a Chicken's Foot!

An informational article walking you through wrapping a chicken’s foot after bumblefoot surgery.
Great write up and pics. Very thorough. I always felt a used too much wrap on a hen's foot. Turns out I do. Oops! I learned something though.

Only thing I still do differently is packing the open wound with the ointment rather than using just a dab. There tends to be a pocket under the skin after bubble foot is surgically removed because there's a void where the infecting was. I make sure there's enough ointment to fill the void. This lasts longer and ensure any missed infecting gets a direct dose of antibiotic from the ointment.

Good idea! I often am dealing with smaller bumbles, so I haven’t really done that, but that’s a helpful bit of advice.
I like the bit of humor in the article!

Very good method of wrapping a chicken foot.

Thank you!
I will keep this article bookmarked in case this ever happens to one of my chickens. Thank you for explaining the things that can go wrong with pictures as well. Your explanations are crystal clear and easy to follow!
I must admit, after seeing June Bug in the first picture I would have read and rated no matter what the content.:loveI think she's gorgeous.
Next came the camo combats. I've worn them for years. Some say I've worn the same pair for years but I have actually got three identical pairs.
Oh! The article!
Way above average. Could have mentioned how to make a foot pad while you were at it but never mind. Love the pictures. Good script. Great actors. Have an oscar.

Thanks, haha. Yeah, JB is definitely pretty. She also has the dullest claws, so...I often use her to be my mannequin.
Hmm...foot pad? I'm not sure what you mean. The gauze pad that goes under the wrap?
As someone who has no experience with this is was very easy to understand and covers any questions or issues I could possibly have. Very well written and easy for beginners to follow. If I ever have issues with bumble foot I will definitely use this article as a guide, and I would recommend to anyone else with that issue.
Well done, well-written article. The photos should be helpful to anyone unsure of the process.
Very thorough! Great article!
Well written, easy to follow, and very clean. Great article!
