So, my sweet year and a half old Loretta has been struggling with her molt, laying goofy thin and rough eggs, had a blood feather break, is getting overbred by her brother (not biological) and now has Bumblefoot on both feet. :(.
I brought her to the vet this morning and they took blood, did...
My 1 year old Pekin male has bumblefoot. Please give me some way to help him! I saw you can bath him in warm water, use Epsom Salt, and then peel the scab? Is that the best way/only way? I want to heal him quickly! He only has it on the bottom of his pad, it’s just a giant black spot that’s...
Bumblefoot
I'm sure you read so many articles on the said subject .. me too! but today i'm sharing my own terms of treating it successful treatment within a short time period and less pain
Let's first know what is bumblefoot i know so many new chicken keepers still not aware of this...
Hi all I have no idea if I am posting this right or even in the right place? I’m after a bit of help/any ideas on Bumblefoot? My little lady Peggy has Bumblefoot, we removed the black scab and pushed out 2 pieces of hard infection cleaned and covered the wound, I took her to the vets as I can...
First off I’m NOT a vet or a doctor but I’m posting this to hopefully help someone with a stubborn case of Bumblefoot / Bumbletoe.
About 7 weeks ago we noticed that one of our Ameracauna/Blue Andalusion crosses was limping badly. When we caught her we noticed that the 3rd toe on her left foot...
My turkey’s toe has been swollen for a few weeks. At first I thought she had broken it trying to go in or out of the coop as she’s large and clumsy. When the swelling didn’t go down I went to google for help and it kept coming up with Bumblefoot. She has gotten epsom salt soaks and her toe has...
I brought my poor runner duck Sage to get her corneal abrasion (which is still not healed) checked and saw that she was tracking blood on the vet's floor. Apparently she had a bumblefoot on the side of one of her feet and while I was taking her into the car to the vet, it started bleeding (or...
I have a duck (drake) with bumblefoot. Apparently it's been there for a while but we only discovered it a few days ago. We've tried picking at the black part but can't tell if we're doing more harm than good.
To this point we've been soaking him daily for about an hour in an epsom salt bath...
About two weeks ago one of my Pekin ducks stopped walking, and eating. She's about 9 weeks old, and hasn't had any issues prior. We checked for bumblefoot and she had maybe two tiny spots that we took care of right away. Well she's still not walking and her legs are swollen. So then we started...
I've been relatively incident-free for a year. I feel like things are snowballing just a tiny bit: hawks, surprise cockerels, worms, tough-to-break broody, now this.
Is this black spot on her wattle fowl pox? I see nothing in her mouth/throat, thank goodness. Sorry for blurry pic.
Treat with...
I just lost one of my babies to sour crop so I really want to make sure I take care of this one! She is limping, not putting weight on her left foot. It is a bit swollen though there is no clear wound. I'm assuming this is bumble foot? I soaked her foot for 15 mns in epsom salts and then...
Another question about my Sultan's feet. I just adopted her, from a "show" situation where it seems she wasn't allowed to scratch or actually be on the ground. I think she must have been caged full time. So i've been trying to take care of her nails, and I noticed that her feet look...
Our beloved Gold Laced Wyandotte hen, Goldie, was limping around the other day. My wife picked her up, and I immediately noticed Goldie's right foot was very swollen. It was a clear sign of bumblefoot. Our flock is only a bit over a year old, and we haven't ran into many health problems. We...
So I’m new to this site and I also did Bumblefoot surgery for the first time. I’m posting pics to get opinions on if it looks like I got it all out? I have her separated and her foot wrapped up that I’ll check in a few days.
Thanks for any responses!
So I got this hen from a guy at my local livestock auction. He was trying to get rid of these ladies and so I took some.
Later when I got home, I noticed one of the hens had what looked like bumblefoot.. but it went all the way through her foot??
When my other hens had bumblefoot and I...

Hopefully the pic works, but I'm assuming my cochin has Bumblefoot. Which I've never treated before!
Every forum and YouTube video I can find has a scab/head to pull out. I don't see one on my girl. There's a slight discoloration...
My red star sex linked chicken lost a nail this week. I was finally able to wrangle her for examine her more closely and her foot looks awful. It seems like bumble to me, but I want second opinions.
If it is bumble, does it appear too advanced to treat with vetricin? I'm leaving for a trip soon...
Last night while counting my birds at lockup; I noticed one of my hens (an Easter Egger) was hesitant to put her foot down. I inspected her feet and sure enough, she had bumblefoot. I was surprised as this was the first case I'd ever had. I wondered what had caused it. I knew I had better...
