Mid january, I saw one of my hen was lame on her right foot. Picked her up. She's had a small scab/caleous under the foot, so I treated for bumble foot.( we had some ice and snow the week before and she was standing on it quite often, as the other hens were kicking her out of the dry...
no drainage...We had a good avian vet an hour away before, but she left....I saw some improvement today..I could see some black...I'm going to continue the treatment and give it some time!..Thank you

If she's around 4 month old, she's really susceptible to Mareks. Regarding metal poisoning, she would improve with some Calcium EDTA shots, which would give you an answer..There is no risk to try it...
