    Lasting effects of bumblefoot- how to manage

    Lasting effects of bumblefoot- how to manage

    Whenever my chooks get injuries (cuts, sprains, etc) I use plantain balm on them. I have also used comfrey balm to heal a broken rooster leg. For a general tonic/de wormer, I like apple cider vinegar and garlic.

    Update on the above information regarding the araucanas I was sold them as pure araucanas but I have since discovered (this afternoon) that they probably aren't pure as they have tails and hairdos. And they are all multi coloured...

    Rural mouse, you sound like me! Into the main coop asap. I currently have 6x 4.5week olds in a brooder that will go into the main coop at around 8 weeks. It's getting quite cold here overnight (0C) so I'll keep them in the brooder a bit longer.. I much prefer to have a broody hen rear them...
