    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    Here’s the top of the 3rd hens foot, we haven’t cut her, only soaking. I’ll get a picture of the bottom of hers and the 2nd hens foot when I get some help. Thanks, I just want to help my girls in the quickest way possible, this must be very painful and unfortunately I can’t get a vet..

    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    The first hen that had bumble is ok now but the 2nd one we took care of and cut a big piece of bumble out of seems to have regenerated it in her foot..should we just cut again? I’m afraid of permanently hurting her foot. There’s another hen that we were soaking but it doesn’t seem to be doing...

    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    Sorry some things happened over here and I wasn’t able to post. This is the ground the walk on, mostly the grass, the walk through that dirt to get out to their field but they aren’t constantly standing in anything muddy or nasty...and their coop has a thick straw floor

    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    Thanks! I will this morning and post them here. I put straw down in their coop yesterday so they’ll be jumping down on something soft now.

    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    They walk around in a big grassy field all day maybe some rocks by the little creek, nothing that should hurt them..their roost is kinda high, it has a ladder for them to get up but I don’t believe they use it to get down. Perhaps I could put straw in the bottom of their coop instead of sand...

    Multiple chickens getting bumble foot! Why??

    In the past week three of my hens developed bumble foot, we are soaking all their feet in epsom salt, and pulled off the scab + got out gunk out of one, but it’s taking a lot of time to care for all three and I have no idea why so many got it at the same time! Our roosts or really smooth so they...

    Thank you! I’m soaking again this morning and then I’ll see how much more I can get out. I’ll keep you all updated.

    Ok. Thank you! How often should I soak? Everyday or every couple days?

    Help! Is this bumble foot? Can I treat?

    The left one looks worse but it’s the right that she doesn’t stand on. (You can’t see the right that well in the top pic, sorry) We pulled that scab off and it came out with the bumble and some fluid.

    Help! Is this bumble foot? Can I treat?

    Here’s the bottom of her feet. I don’t have pictures of after, but we soaked her feet for about 20 minutes and then pulled off one of the scans along with some gunk, it looked like there was more in there but I did not want to dig too much so I will check again next time I soak. We put...

    Help! Is this bumble foot? Can I treat?

    I noticed a few days ago one of my hens had a little limp, since the live in a field down past our house I don’t see them most of the day like I used to, so I forgot to check her foot after I took care of all the animals. I did check this morning and noticed a swelling spot on two of her toes...

    What breeds are these two chicks??

    Ok thanks. What colored eggs do those breeds have so I’ll know?

    What breeds are these two chicks??

    One is gray, has an oddly long tail, and seems to be barred, with yellow feet and a couple dark scales. The other is gray with a tuft on her head, with gray/green feet. They should be Olive Eggers, Saphire Eggers, Bluebell Eggers and there may have been another breed that I’m not...

    Colored egglayer mix, breed?

    Ok...do you have a guess on what breed it is?

    Colored egglayer mix, breed?

    Ok..are normal olive Egger chicks gray like that too? I’m going to exchange a boy calico princess for a new chick, so I’m hoping to pick out an Americana or bluebell Egger..does any have any idea what those chicks should look like?
