    Is this Bumblefoot?

    So glad it was just that... a crud ball! its much easier to deal with vs. Bumble foot. anyway as far as preventing it from happening again you could wrap it for a week or so to allow the stretched skin to "shrink" back. however I have one hen who no matter what I do she gets them especially in...

    life with Waterbelly

    yes she has been walking around with her bottom nearly on the ground... I've looked for an egg but nothing she hasn't layed in probably 6 months and when she did she played these tiny " robin" sized eggs with no yolk for probably a year plus now... so she has had something going internally for a...

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    it looks to be a "crud ball" if i have a few hen who get them often all you need to do is "pop" it out its a little pocket filled with dirt and poo... they can get really impacted so if it hasn't been done regularly you may need to dig the dirt out but if you maintain it they pop out pretty easily.

    broken toe

    if the other chickens are not bothering her i wouldn't worry to much, if they are you will need to keep her separate until it heals enough so she is no longer limping or in danger of getting beat up ... as for bumble foot it can be pretty serious. you need some good antibiotic/ first aid...

    RIR Roo with injured leg

    sounds like you doing all the right things! it will just take time. make sure he gets rest thats super important too . the leg needs to heal so limiting his space might speed up the healing process a bit! also you don't want him to use his leg if he doesn't need to. He may try to act normal to...
