    What could cause a warm, red-tinged foot that's NOT bumblefoot?

    My 18 month old BO seems to intermittently have a red-tinged foot. A few days ago I noticed a subtle hobble or limp but it was barely detectable. She was still getting around fine and jumping up and down from roosts. Since then it seems to have faded, but today I noticed one of her feet/legs...

    Bumblefoot removed but no kernal came out despite major swelling.

    Hi everyone! So, last year I had done Brownie's bumblefoot procedure for the first time. During the process no corn kernal had come out. I did the process again 2 days ago after lots and lots of warm water soaks for many days and removed his scab. A bit of infection like thing came out but...

    Bumblefoot healing

    Hey guys! So I have a question about bumblefoot - I originally treated it about 6 weeks ago (dug out the infection, foot soak, polysporin, wrapped the foot for a week etc). Two of my girls had it on both feet. Their feet no longer seem red or swollen, but the scabs are there on 3 of the 4 feet I...

    Bumblefoot scab not coming off.

    Hi everyone! So, I had planned to remove Brownie's (my rooster) bumblefoot from both feet yesterday, but it was too hard even after half an hour of soaking in warm water! I tried to pluck it away using a pair of tweezers (I've done this before as well) but the bumblefoot scab was very firm...

    Bumblefoot frustration

    I know there is a wealth of info on bumblefoot treatment so maybe I’m looking for advice and maybe to vent a little. My chickens are basically my families pets. The poop in their coop is scooped out every morning. They have a soft sandy run and are let out a couple hours every day to free...

    Bumblefoot - how to help easily.

    I got 6 new layers in April. I would say 3 were robust, but lots of green and vitamins and extra protein seemed to help them all. Anyways, we've had a few issues, that are sorted, mostly poopy vents and lice that came with a vengeance in the spring, first time for that beauty. But today, I...

    Doktor doom lice spray?

    I’ve been trying to treat one of my guineas for suspected bumble foot and come to the conclusion that it’s mites. There’s no bumble foot root and no scab anywhere and it’s both feet that are affected. She’s not easy to catch, so I’ve been periodically epsom salt soaking her feet and then...

    Is this bumblefoot? Please help!

    Today when I picked up one of my quails I saw that one of her feet is swollen. I soaked her feet in warm water and I took the photo afterwards. I've already seen bumblefoot on a chicken but I have no idea what to do. Is this even bumblefoot? What should I do?
