    My first bumblefoot, I'm thinking

    Update: no change. At this point, we've stopped keeping him inside--it's not changing, it's neither growing nor shrinking, there is no scab or clear spot to lance. I'm worried it might be gout or an injury rather than bumblefoot. There's no heat, no redness. It's just BIG. He doesn't limp...

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    ROFL, we have a metal detector, never occurred to me to use it on the bird! I actually might try that to see if the whole screw is gone or if it just broke off!

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    This was exactly what I said to my husband today! We'll check the coop with a magnet (we were mounting new nest boxes last week and lost a screw, this is how we found it!), but it's a 16x8 coop, with deep bedding, plus two 20x25 runs, and a half-acre fenced off for ranging, so odds of finding...

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    Wowser thing this morning! Hubby grabbed Screwball so we could have a look at her screwbelly, and the screw appears to be gone! It's either broken off inside, which I doubt, or it's gone. I checked, but didn't want to really get in and grind around. It feels like a scab, though. Here are the...

    My first bumblefoot, I'm thinking

    Amazon has a bunch of products that come up when I search for "tricide neo," but none are called that. On the surgical front, every site I hit says to cut around the dark spot, remove the dark spot. There is no opening/scab/dark spot/head/wound here, and so I don't know what to do, besides soak...

    My first bumblefoot, I'm thinking

    This is as clear as I have--it's wrapped right now, I'll take a new shot when we unwrap and resoak. The dark spot washed off, btw.

    My first bumblefoot, I'm thinking

    Noticed a swollen spot on the top of my roo's foot, between toes. Checked the bottom, and the pad is swollen, too. Maybe slightly pink, but no black spot or head. No obvious wound. He's happy, not limping, I noticed it by accident. Epsom soaked him, slathered in abx ointment, and wrapped. Going...

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    She’s still screwed, and she seems fine. Active, happy, eating and pooping fine, laying fine, being mated like the other girls. We’ve changed her name to “Screwball” and I guess this is her new normal.

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    I agree, I do think she swallowed it. I think it's made it past her gizzard somehow, but then it perforated rather than passed through. I try really hard to be careful with screws and nails, but we bought this place two years ago, and it was littered with construction materials that had been...

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    Right here. I have additional photos. But we tried to cut the screw, and it clearly caused her pain. Her appetite is great, her eyes clear, she's active and seems fine. I know, she's not fine. The screw is deep-wiggling it doesn't find the head, if there is a head. We have her in the garage...

    Tiny egg

    Nop Nope, all the girls in that coop are at least 11 months old and have been laying for a while now. The Shell was white, and we have no white layers in there except two pekin ducks. Weird.

    Tiny egg

    Cool, thank you! We’ve never had one before. We’ve had a couple of shelless eggs, and one with a weird, hard but wrinkled end, but never one of these!

    The head does not feel anywhere near the surface—I can’t feel it with my fingers.

    Tiny egg

    I thought those were soft or not real eggs? This is a real egg, but no yolk, only white.

    It was in the coop with other chicken eggs, so not a wild bird, lol

    I’m thinking this isn’t going to turn out okay

    I have pics. She has a large lump north of the screw--above and to the right when you have her belly up and butt toward you. It's not red or hot, feels like maybe impaction. Getting cutters in the morning.
