    hea?? balls of white fibrous ....

    We just brought our favorite rooster in to check his feet again. (This was the rooster who had "one of the worse cases of" bumblefoot and we had done surgery on about 2 months ago. His feet have been slowly but surely healing.) We had not checked him "all over" for about a week. We got a real...

    Bumblefoot surgery - with pics and "how to"

    Well, I may have discovered this thread too late. Our favorite rooster was discovered limping about a week ago. We didn't think much of it as he and his flock free-range over the acreage. He was much worse, however, a few days ago; so David brought him in the house for us to tend to his feet...
