    To ointment or not to ointment?

    I recently bought a gorgeous young celadon quail who came with what looked like a bad case of bumblefoot. I tended the wound a couple nights ago by peeling off the scab, soaking and rinsing with epsom salt water, and finishing with over-the-counter antibiotic ointment. I'm keeping her in the...

    Does bumblefoot cause a pause in egg laying? And some bumblefoot advice too?

    My 10 month old Buff Orpington caused me concern that she is not laying eggs, it's been 5 DAYS--yikes. I considered that she might be decreasing eggs due to the shorter days. She was not showing the signature signs of being eggbound, no funny walk, no squatting, and no decreased appetite. In...

    Hey all, I’m a new chicken owner and one of my ladies started getting a noticeable lump on top of her foot a few weeks ago. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all. She is still running and digging around. The swelling is also only on the top of her foot and I haven’t seen any sort of scab yet...

    I regrettably don’t have any photos but here’s what I’m dealing with. Two LF hens with what looks like a classic case of bumblefoot. I didn’t notice any limping, but I did a quick exam and took action as soon as I saw the bumblefoot. No swelling, but pretty good size black callous/scab on both...

    Can I treat this case of Bumblefoot without Surgery?

    One of my Anconas has lumps on the balls of both her feet. Here is a picture of the worst one. Today, I put her in an Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes, and sprayed blu-kote on her feet. I don't have any duck shoes for her. I plan to do the same every morning and afternoon until she heals. Is...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    I have two hens that show signs on their feet that looks similar to bumble foot, however neither of them are limping or showing any discomfort from their feet.

    Hen not putting weight on one leg/foot.

    I have a hen who is not using one leg. My girl is almost 3 years old. She’s a Buff Orpington. Healthy. Fluffy. Still laying. Seems happy except she won’t put any weight on her right foot/leg and will only use it for balance. (She’s getting fairly good at hopping around!) My first instinct was...

    Bumblefoot - Don’t know severity or what to do

    Hi! Ruby has three bumps on her foot. She refuses to use her foot at all and tries to walk with just one foot and spreading out her wing for balance. I don’t know the severity of her bumblefoot. Should I treat just with epsom salt baths, or is it sever enough that I should surgically remove it...
