Hi All! I’ve been treating one of my hens for bumblefoot and suspected SLM. When I first examined her foot two weeks ago I noticed that the upper joint on her middle toe was thick and the toe appeared crooked. At the time I thought maybe it was the result of the bumblefoot, but now that it has...
I discovered bumblefoot on one of my hens after seeing some swelling between her toes while foraging (3 weeks ago).
Thanks to all the help on byc I was able to successfully remove the bumble and have been cleaning/rewrapping the foot every 2-3 days.
My question is, how long do I keep a bandage...

Hi all,
I have searched on bumblefoot in here and have tried the various things told to do; however, I have an extremely large rooster and it’s impossible to get these things done even with my husbands help. He’s just too big and heavy. He’s not biting but will not hold still enough for us to...

Hello,
I recently adopted a Black Cochin chicken who I suspect may have bumblefoot.
Her previous owner kept her in a dog house and she didn’t get out to forage very often. A couple of days after she came home with us we noticed that she had a limp and at the time we thought that she had...
Hey y’all, I got a 2 year old Pekin duck recently from someone who was getting rid of all their birds. I checked her feet today just making sure there’s no bumblefoot going on, to my surprise I saw on the ends of some of her toes were big and were missing toenails, could she have froze some toes...
I have a few pullets that I just moved out of temporary housing to join my main flock. I noticed these scabs along the back of a few of the ladies legs/hocks, and a little along the toes…

Hi everyone.
My Mr. Brownie is turning 4 years old day after tomorrow and the poor guy has struggled with Bumblefoot since before he turned 1. BUT this thread is not asking you for euthanasia advise, so please don't mention it.
A few months back, one of his legs developed 3 additional bumbles...
On Sunday I noticed one of my barnyard mix hens feathers were hanging down her leg. She was eating and otherwise seemed fine. I couldn’t catch her and get a better look until yesterday. When I went to check on her I did notice that there was a huge lump/tumor hanging down. (From one side of her...
Hello hello.
I have a mini bantam hen who one day recently had quite a limp. Checked her feet and found in a big lesion on her left foot.
From the research I've done it seems to may be bumblefoot but I'm not completely sure. Attached is image of the lesion and her normal right foot for...
Hello Everyone,
Ive gone over potential differentials and I’ve come down to one; bumblefoot. Main concern is change in activity, eating pattern, and poop change. Im not sure if anything else is going on or if this is just a result of bumble foot. Below I will try my best to provide a past and...
Two of my Golden Laced Wyandottes have bumble foot on both feet. One of them was pretty bad, the other 3 feet were early cases. I’ve done the epsom salt bath, pulled the plug out and pulled off any black callousing, sprayed with vetericyn, bandaged them all up, and have them both separated from...
I was just wondering if my ducks would be okay if the inside part of the coop (about 2m by 2m and then nesting area and roosts for my chickens) is tile? the rest of my coop is hay flooring and then they free range on grass. just double checking the tile won’t damage their feet? also side note...

Hi.
I have a rooster that is limping and when I inspected his foot, I noticed he had hard lumps on each toe along with a black spot - on both feet. I just treated my first hen with bumble foot - but that was on her toe close to the pad of her foot and it was only one spot. So i am not sure if...
So my white rock started limping about a week ago just a little bit and I noticed a small place of missing skin on her foot. As of 2 days ago, she stopped walking 95% and hasn't moved around much but have been keeping a close eye on her with food, water, and checking on her cut. As of today, the...
I’ve been treating bumble for 2 months. Today while changing bandages I noticed an ulcer of some sort? It’s weird, looks like a tumor almost. It has capillary refill really well. It’s developed within the last 4 days. Overall she is doing good, she is 2years and 4 months old. Any ideas if I need...
