    How can I keep my chickens from roosting on the barn beams?

    My chicken coop is a repurposed large room in my old barn that I fixed up for my first flock. They have plenty of roosting bars (made from trees) and places to "sit" if they need to, for example when they huddle up if it's cold. So even if they have several spots to choose from, they always...

    Bumblefoot Question (Photos)

    Hi Everyone! I’m a little confused with bumblefoot. Do all cuts on ducks feet turn to bumblefoot, or can they sometimes heal on their own? I have 5 ducks and I noticed one had a slight limp today. I looked at her foot and noticed what I think is the beginning of bumblefoot (she is duck “A”...

    Help: what to do when bumblefoot removal doesn't go as planned?

    We've never had a case of bumblefoot before one of our girls came down with it recently. We read countless blog posts, watched YT videos, and posted here on BYC asking for help, then decided to try to treat it without surgery and avoid causing potentially unnecessary pain. Non-surgery didn't...

    Meat Chickens and Bumblefoot

    I’m not certain where to post this- it IS a medical concern as well as for the safety of us. I’m in quite a big predicament, a few of our 4 - 5 week old Cornish crosses have bumblefoot. I’m not certain how they got it, but I quickly separated the birds from the main group. In meat birds, it it...

    Bumble foot.

    Hi my Rouen female has bumble foot. I worked on her foot last night, when I was done I put copaiba and coconut oil on the wound and wrapped it. This is what it looks like this morning. Does it look like I got all the infection? Do I need to work on her some more? Thank you

    8 week old hen doesn’t stand for long

    I have a 8 1/2 week old Wellbar hen that “high steps” when she walks and has one metatarsal pad that is ever so slightly larger. There are no lesions that I can find. She walks but is very quick to sit, choosing your sit for her water and for her food. She seems more “svelt” than our other...

    First time treating bumblefoot and very worried about my hen!

    I have always had chickens but now I have one with bumblefoot! We noticed that she had a lump on the top of her foot. I looked at the bottom and I saw the black scab. I soaked her foot in Epsom salt and warm water, we cleaned it and used an xacto knife to remove the scab. We also removed any...

    Bumble foot?

    I’m assuming this is bumble foot, but I’m not sure how to treat the sides of his toes. It’s like they are shredded. He doesn’t take kindly to me putting him on his back to deal with his foot. And he flinches when I touch it. Any ideas what to do. Thank you.
