Chickens can get bumblefoot anywhere, not just on their feet. At least from what I've read, bumblefoot is a staph infection, and chickens encapsulate this infection, which turns hard and gets a "core". At least that's what I have read. If this is not correct, someone please correct me...
My white rock had gotten her head caught in a fence, and had "scalped" herself
It has now healed, and you can't tell anything had ever happened, BUT she got bumblefoot, yes bumblefoot, on her head, despite my keeping it clean. So just be on the lookout for that. BTW, I pulled the bumblefoot...
