    Scab or bumblefoot?

    Hi fellow chicken tenders, I volunteer at a community farm that's run by local neighborhood volunteers. I only joined a little over a year ago but have tried my best to learn from both here and youtube on chicken health and care. I've been caring for a chicken who has mild respiratory issues...

    3 Roosters with Single Swollen Toe Joint/Infection

    Hello! I’m not new to chicken keeping and have treated bumblefoot on domestic birds and on wild birds as a volunteer at a wildlife rehab. I’m so confused about what is going on with my flock. I have three roosters who each have *ONE* swollen joint on a toe. They had been working out their...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    I recently noticed bumblefoot in one of my hens, and while treating that, figured out that she and another hen had scaly leg lice. I've been treating both of them for scaly leg lice for the past week (soaking in epsom salt, gently scrubbing their scales with a soft toothbrush and coating the...

    Swollen, Bleeding Feet and Raw Breast w/pics

    Thank you all for reading. (Pictures are attached below.) We inherited dozens of chickens and don't have details on age or breed. This particular chicken seems to be an idea weight compared to the rest. He is the only one in the coop with this issue. Both of his feet have been swollen since I...

    RIP: AngryGirl, light Brahma, odd behavior

    I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent. Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...

    Chicken booties template

    Hi all, I’m wanting to make some boots for my tiny pekin. She’s getting over a severe case of scaly leg & bumblefoot (I got her with these conditions last week). I’ve found the little chicken booties online but no one in my country sells or makes them. I could buy them from overseas, but the...

    Bumblefoot?

    I have already posted here before and gotten amazing help, but wanted to know if this is the early stages of bumblefoot, or a fracture mabye. Just for some context she was spooked and maybe attacked by a small cat. I only saw her running away while the cat just stands 5 meters away and after...

    PLEASE HELP - CHRONIC BUMBLEFOOT

    I’ve never posted here before but I just rescued a duck a couple of days ago and he has very large bumps on his feet. I don’t know much about the previous owners or his behavior before I rescued him but from what I have observed he has no other symptoms of illness. I don’t have an avian vet...

The vet told me to clean the area and apply an ointment which I did for 3 weeks. I'll write here the...

    Bent and swollen lump in chicken’s toe

    Our chicken has had bumble foot a while back which we treated at home with epson salt and bandaged it. A couple weeks after she developed this lump in her toe and her toe started bending sideways. Could it have been due to the bumble foot, or is she deficient in anything nutritious wise? She...

    Recurring bumblefoot— help!

    One of my ducks has a recurring case of bumblefoot. She previously had it in January of this year— I soaked her feet twice a day in Epsom salts but the scabs never came off & I decided to not pry them out. I ended up switching from Epsom salts to chlorhexidine and it helped SO MUCH— she was able...

    Does this look like it is healing after removing bumblefoot

    Hi, please help. I removed bumblefoot from two feet of my chicken. Used Prid for 5 days, then epsom salt soak for 20 min and removed. The large one did not have acorn like infection attached, it was more like puss. I squeezed pretty hard and it looked like it was gone. These pics are from today...

    Tricide Neo Bumblefoot/Distilled water

    Is it necessary to have distilled water to use Tricide Neo? I live in a small town and having trouble finding it right now… could change next week (life of living in a rural town), but would love to start treatment sooner than later.

    Bumble foot - is this how it should be healing?

    Hi everyone- I need some advice. I have a nearly 10 year old chicken who was attacked by a racoon 2 months ago (all in the coop were injured or killed). At first she showed no outward injury- we thought she had been shoved off the roost in the panic of the other birds and it seemed the ankle...

    Bumblefoot... quick question. Please help! Thank you!

    I know bumblefoot is brought up a lot here, but I have a very quick question. I've dealt with it before and I've been successful. However, I have a chicken who has the round, black scab on the bottom of the foot. After a long soak, we've removed the scab and tried to expel the kernel, but no...

    My Brahma is limping

    Hi, I’ve just gotten chickens for the first time. My Brahma hen is about 4 months old and she has started limping recently. It’s gotten worse over the past couple days so I’ve moved her inside so the other chickens won’t pick on her(I don’t think they will anyways because she’s the largest in...

    Traction/grip tape can cause bumblefoot

    Right to the point as in the title: I've learned the hard way that traction/grip tape can cause serious bumblefoot eventually. The problematic part of the tape is a clear plastic layer that, in at least the brands I used, becomes brittle when cold and likes to curl when the black coating is worn...

    Injured hen who is barely able to walk? **HELP!!**

    I have a hen that was nearly fully recovered from heat stroke last week who is now limping on her right foot. She’s staying in her coop and refuses to come out. It’s 99 fahrenheit today and I really don’t want her in there today… I’ll get pictures of her foot.
