bumble foot

Good evening everyone, I have a barred rock named big mama (who is top of the pecking order) with what I believe is Bumblefoot. Her feet are kinda pillowy looking and one has 1 brown spot and the other has 2 brown spots (plugs?). She’s acting completely normal, walking normally and...

My very favorite girl has Bumblefoot. She had a niacin deficiency that she recovered from decently. Her limp mostly went away after treatment (which was late) but the Bumblefoot developed in her leg that has some lasting deformity. This is my first time dealing with this issue and I have an...

Hey all, I was with my chickens yesterday and saw a black scab on one of my hens’ top of their foot. I think it’s bumblefoot and I’m ready to proceed going that route, but I wanted yalls opinion. She’s not limping, and it’s stayed the same size since yesterday. Thank you!

I noticed my girl limping late last night. Upon evaluation this morning, I’m afraid she has bumblefoot. I am leaving for a weekend trip tomorrow, but my husband will be here to treat her. Please help! I’ve read so many different things about what to do..I can’t even think where to begin. She a...

I noticed my chicken has a spot under her foot. She walks fine at times I do notice she walks like she stepped on something or when she’s standing she has one leg up. I had a chicken a couple of years ago that died from it and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. I read that soaking my...

Hey all - We've been battling some bulmblefoot in one of our girls for the last month. She's about 2 weeks after the vet lanced and drained it (from the top, there was no plug). And she's done with antibiotics but it looks like it's still swollen a lot. I feel like it's much worse. Have not...

So I have a chicken that I noticed a few days ago was moving a little sluggish. She was acting overall normal, only a little slow. Today I went out to check on my hens while they were getting up in bed. And I opened the door just in time to see her attempt and fail to jump up on the roost. I...

We had a hen with bumblefoot on both feet. One had a big "corn kernal" removed by cutting the foot open. The other had it removed with some tweezers and less surgery. We soaked in Epsom salts before and after the surgeries. She no longer has any puss or infection coming out of the foot, even...

Is this bumble foot? If so, what stage and what am I supposed to do to treat it at this stage? How would I know it’s improving or is it supposed to grow first before it gets better? Just noticed it today for the first time. She’s walking and acting fine. She was in chicken jail for 24 hours for...

Hello! My brown Amerucana started limping today and I’m worried it might be bumble foot. When we adopted her (about a year ago) she always had a little bump on her foot, but today was the first day she seemed bothered by it. Anything i can do for her myself is so so welcome. Epsom salt...

Does anything about this look like bumble foot to you? She is limping pretty bad and it’s only gotten worse over the last 3 days and I’ve been treating it twice a day. I don’t see any scab or anything. I’ve felt all up her leg, it doesn’t seem to be broken and feels pretty normal. I’m at a...

Has anyone ever used an online poultry veterinarian for their geese or ducks? How was your experience with them, cost, and were you able to get a prescription from them for an antibiotic? I have a goose with a few bumblefoot lumps because he is a dunderhead and was trying to fight with some...

One of my girls got a minor cut on her foot in the end of February, it became slightly inflamed but no black. I treated it with polysporin, preparation H and a neoprene duck shoe changed before bed every night for 3 weeks. Pretty much all of the swelling went down and and the scab was super tiny...

Hey all! Two days ago, after much prep and planning, I went and picked up two female Muscovy ducks from a rescue here in Texas. This is our first duck experience and now I'm freaking out inside because I think one of them came with bumblefoot! I managed to get a hold of here which was terrifying...

Im Not sure im my rooster groomer has bumble foot or not as I dont know what to look for. He isn't limping or anything. Thanks.

Hey all, (Graphic content attached) I’ve got a 5 year old rooster that’s been dealing with a foot issue for about 1 month now. We took him in to the garage and warmth after realizing him being lame on his left side.we have been soaking his foot in epsom salt and warm water for two weeks now -...

Hi, I have 4 birds and noticed a fowl mite infestation a few days ago so I applied permethrin powder to birds and coop with plan to reapply in 1 week. Today Onyx (dark Brahma) appears lethargic, not active, I watched for a bit, no eating/drinking/pooping. I thought it was mite side effects, so I...

This morning I noticed an abscess on my light brahma’s foot, and I was wondering if it’s bumblefoot?? She didn’t show signs of pain or limping and when I pressed lightly on it she didn’t seem to be bothered by it. I also didn’t see the “plug” that abscesses due bumblefoot have, it’s just a firm...

This is Angelina, she is a three year old pekin. We got her from Murdoch's so I have had her since she was a two day old duckling. She has had bumble foot for over a year now. I have tried treating it with epsom salt soaks but didn't do it enough and did not have confidence in myself to treat...

Hi, I have combed the discussion boards but I haven’t seen a post with a spot like this. My 10-month old Pekin has a spot like this in the middle of both her feet. My thought is that it’s bumblefoot but it’s not swollen, she doesn’t limp and there’s no black dot. I haven’t had ducks before so...
