The foot does still bleed, I tried to remove the top scab of the bumblefoot after soaking it this afternoon, so that I could put antibiotic cream on it, and it did bleed. Is that a good sign?
The foot is cold . :( What should I do now? I’m guessing this means that she’s going to lose her foot. Is it healthy to just wait until it falls off? Man, I hate that I did this to her.
I have a 2 year old Cuckoo Maran that I have been treating what I believed to be bumblefoot on. I had applied tea tree oil to the pad, put a band aid on, and then wrapped in that stretchy wound wrap that sticks to itself. The bandage was staying on fine so I left it on for a few days to keep the...
It does feel soft and squishy. Not like a balloon, its softer than that. It feels like there is liquid inside but i don't know if I should make a little incision in it with a scalpel or poke it with a needle. I was leaning towards the scalpel thinking maybe there was a sack of fluid or something...

I have a 1st time broody hen who is sitting on eggs scheduled to hatch yesterday, today and so on. This morning I saw one of the eggs had a good size pip hole. I came home after work to find the BH had abandoned the egg that was well into the hatching process and rolled it away from the rest of...
Please help. I just went to check on my broody hens who are laying on eggs that are on about day 18 or 19. I found an egg cracked open with a fully developed chick inside still attached to the membrane and the yolk. I must have caught it just in time because it was still moist. I hurried and...
