    Another bumblefoot post

    Hello! I’m hoping some of you with more experience can help me. I have a duck with a bad case of bumblefoot, that I’m a few days into trying to treat. I’ve been doing epsom baths, applying vetericyn and betadine, and wrapping for three days. Today the scab felt soft enough to pull off, so I...

    Difficult Hen With Bumblefoot

    This is my first post and the reason I made my account. Basically one of my hens is suffering from bumblefoot that she got while roaming around. My hens aren't used to being picked up since I never had to. They spend their time roaming around a huge yard and tree area so they don't often...

    Swollen Foot PLEASE SOMEONE

    Could scaly leg mites be causing this "infection" at / above rooster's hocks?

    I have a beautiful brahma / rhode island rooster who is about three years old. We noticed him kicking his right leg out behind him a lot. Almost like he was being irritated by something. I had recently moved him into a new run while I added new hens so I thought maybe he was just being sassy...

    One hen and one roo had bumble foot on both feet. We started with surgery on one foot each. The roos toe healed up completely and the hen's foot was looking really good so we decided to do their other feet. I'm not sure whether or not the hen is healing. Her foot from before started to get a...

    Bumblefoot surgery unsuccessful and now his toe looks worse than before

    My rooster had bumblefoot on two toes. We did one surgery and that toe completely healed so we went ahead and did the other one about a week and a half ago. We could not get his toe to stop bleeding and accidentally tied the wrap too tight. His toe looked really good when we changed the wrap the...

    Black Scabs on Top of Rooster’s Feet

    I noticed one of our roosters has done gnarly scabbing on the top/side of his foot directly under his spurs (which are large). It isn’t looking like bumble foot to me based on the location and just general appearance - no swelling or redness and all the other chickens seem fine. Looking for...

    Are all foot cuts bumbles?

    I have a hen who has a scab on the bottom of her foot. She is not limping. And I just finished treating two other hens for bumblefoot (which took about a month). Is it possible for them to just have a scab and it not be bumblefoot?

    Swollen leg

    So I need some advice. I picked up 4 hens yesterday evening and when out feeding them this morning I noticed one of the girls had a swollen foot. I pick her up to have a closer look and was horrified to find big black scab on her foot as well has an embedded zip tie. Now I don’t know if the leg...

    Rooster starting to limp.

    17 week old Blue Laced Red starting to favor his right foot. We’ve checked for bumble foot but not seeing anything. This started 2 days ago. He’s still very active and eating. Could it be a sprain? Can bumblefoot take a while to appear?

    Is This Bumblefoot?

    Last night, I went into the barn to put my chickens in their coop, and I found one of my 7mo hens acting out of the ordinary, lying there in the middle of the stall (it was a horse barn). I picked her up and thought maybe the weather got to her as she just let me hold her (something she's not...
