Thanks for your reply -- I'll look into doing an Epsom salt soak on her with the cuts. I've soaked it before, a few months ago, but without results. Maybe I could try it again in a few days after the wounds heal up? The swelling has moved into her ankle a bit in the last couple days.
Can anyone help me out? This is my first flock of chickens and I don't know what to do. Does anyone know if this could be something besides bumblefoot? THANKS!!
Hi all,

Hi everyone,
My two-year old hen has had a swollen foot for a few months now, but I had been putting off surgery because she had been walking fine on it, and it hadn't gotten any bigger. Additionally, even though I thought it was bumblefoot, she has never had the tell-tale scar on the bottom...
