    Hen with one eye closed, lethargic

    Is this Bumblefoot?? Raised/long scales on both feet

    Hello! One of my Bresse pullets is limping and holding up one foot. We took a look at her feet after soaking them about a week and a half ago, and didn't see anything that we immediately recognized as bumblefoot, more like the scales on the edges of the pads of her feet are raised or ... long...

    Head shakes on Bresse roosters
