    First time treating bumblefoot and very worried about my hen!

    Excellent work on keeping it clean!! You're doing a great job :). In my opinion, having only dealt with this one time, I would say something is still in there keeping it swollen and aggravated. My chickens foot didn't swell that much, but once I got the other piece of the infection out, the...

    Be sure to let us know what breeds you get! I can have 6 chickens but am down to four due to the passing of the one last year, and one ended up being a rooster. Ive been thinking about adding two more to my flock before summer but after all of these issues. :)

    First time treating bumblefoot and very worried about my hen!

    Welcome to BYC :):welcome I dealt with bumblefoot on the bottom of the foot last year, but I never saw the bump from the top so I don't have experience with that. However there are quite a few people in here that do. :) However, could you post photos for the professionals to see when they get...

    Chicken acting strange for a couple weeks Please Read Updates

    Just did my midnight check on her, No purple comb at all! It looks perfect! My guess is that somehow her circulation was getting cut off by laying down. Since she is sleeping on the roost tonight, it looks great. That could mean that she has issues, but as of right now, she feels great and her...

    Just an update: She is doing even better, ate another scrambled egg, her second dose of medicine and doesn't want to stay still now LOL.
