    My husband held her and we placed a cloth over her head. I might roll her in a towel today. Might be easier.

    How long can i leave bumblefoot where the chicken is not weight bearing on that foot

    I have watched a few videos online. I'm wondering how to people manage to keep the feet really still. My chicken keeps pulling her legs away and is so jumpy that it makes it difficult to keep going. She will also close up her claws. I tried for around 30 minutes today but as I wasn't making...

I think I will have to try...

    Hi all, How long do I have before the infection gets worse. The bumblefoot on my chicken's foot is visible from above and she is unable to weight-bearing on that foot. She is eating and drinking.

    Mites around chickens eyes and bumblefoot.

    Thanks. Would I just spray this everywhere as well as both chickens. My coop bedding is hemp inside and in the nesting boxes and I have put river bank sand in the run on top of a concrete floor. Both chickens have been roaming around my garden too.
