I noticed that one of my leg horn hens had a blister between her toes. I looked online for answers and I read about bumble foot. I heard it is very contagious so I'm very nervous that my other hens will get it to. My mom tried to pop the blister but I didn't think it was the right thing to do considering We don't know what is wrong with her. When she poked it with a needle blood and a sticky white puss came out. Is it bumble foot or no? And if so, how can I cure it?

Yes, that is bumble foot. No, it is not cottages. Bumble foot is caused by a cut in the foot. Most likely from jumping up and down from the perch.

Take these steps to fix it:
1) Socke the birds feet in epsomsalt water for abuot 15 minets.
2) Bandage the feet: put a gauze pad on the bump, then wrap with vetwrap(It comes in many colors, stiks to itself and is cominly used for horses).
3) Repeat every day for a couple of weeks.
4) and lower the perches. (to 1-2 feet of the ground)

Hope she gets better!
