Hey, first time posting here myself.
My jumbo pekin got bad bumblefoot and the vet prescribed antiobiotics that she’s been on but it continued getting worse. I’ve lanced it a few times to remove large amounts of pus, but the vet said eventually her bone looked moth eaten and like a firework had...
Three weeks ago, I noticed this black spot on the bottom of my chicken foot (just saw it on accident)..... I looked yesterday and it's still there (pic from yesterday). Not any better OR worse. Just this little pinhead of a scab spot. I think she MIGHT have the exact same situation on other...
I noticed my chicken has a spot under her foot. She walks fine at times I do notice she walks like she stepped on something or when she’s standing she has one leg up. I had a chicken a couple of years ago that died from it and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. I read that soaking my...
Been working with the rooster ever since my last post. I removed the black spots on his feet and found infection and kernels beneath, and removed most of what I could- but I am stumped with the current one. It is on the top of his back toe, and has swollen quite oddly(and became quite hard in...
I wasn't able to find anything that quite addressed my problem, so new thread. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I check on her again to see how she's doing.
TL;DR: I have a young adult quail with a dislocated toe and mild bumblefoot on the mend. Am I gonna pull this poor baby's toe off putting...
Hello, I need help. So recently one of my chickens got bumblefoot on both of her feet. I have put her and salt water and removed both scaps, but I am not entirely sure if I've managed to completely remove it. I have put pictures below of her feet. Please tell me if I have removed it properly and...
Help!! I have around 40 chickens, and the other day me and my mom discovered that around half of them have bumblefoot. Now, I’ve done my research, and I know how to go about treating them individually. But 20 or so chickens is a lot of chickens to have to treat. Has anyone else had this problem...
A couple days ago upon checking my duck's foot, I saw a very small slight bump on the underside of her toe, looking a little red. I checked again and it hasn't gone, or gotten any larger, but is still red which concerns me. I had a good feel and it doesn't feel hot, it's quite hard, feels very...
Hey everyone. Long time no see. I haven't posted recently because everything about my chickens has been pretty uneventful. However, my rooster has a swollen middle toe and there's a large black spot under it. I'm hoping it's not bumblefoot because the roosts in their coop are pretty high. If so...
After some quick research I'm quite sure that one of my chickens has both bumblefoot and scaly leg mites. I've learned of treatment options, but I'm unsure of what order to treat the issues in. Her bumblefoot abscesses will likely need home surgery, so should I wait to start any oil soaking for...
My hen has a toe that is warm to the touch and swollen, and she does not like to stand on that foot. There appears to be a black scab forming on the underside of the swollen toe adjacent to the nail. You'll see from the photos that we've struggled with scaly leg mite infections this past winter...
One of my little girls is limping and avoiding standing on her left foot. The bottom looks a bit swollen but no open sores or scabs. I checked all my other birds and they look fine, as does her other foot. Thoughts? What could I do at this early stage (if it is bumblefoot) or if it's something...
Bumblefoot is a B*** in my case one of my rooster facing bumblefoot issue since the age of 6months we changed our old home in and it become worse since then , pus , scab and hard black pointy portion around the scab tried almost everything written on internet , feel so bad watching him limping...
Hi,
I was bathing one of my hens 5 days ago when I discovered her toenail was yellow, with a brown tip on the end. It is shorter than her other nails (perhaps she broke it? But there was no bleeding), and she also has scabs underneath. The scabs look like an early case of bumblefoot, and I'm...
Hi all! I have a few silkies experiencing some foot issues- started with scaly leg mites which are being treated and are getting better… now I suspect Bumblefoot. Noticed round scabs in middle of foot pad… removed scab after soaking it. The footpad and scab are both soft. There was no puss, just...
HELP!!!
My chicken has a massively swollen foot, but only a small bumblefoot scab. About a month ago i soaked it in epsom salts and luke warm water, but it didn't really do anything and the swelling has gotten much worse. What should I do? Any advice would be immensely appreciated!! 😭😭🙏🙏
Hi. I am new here. Hoping to get some insight.
Long story as short as I can—
I’ve had chickens for a month and a half. They were given to me. All of the chickens are active, healthy, shiny feathers, eating drinking and active. They’re free range during the day and cooped at night. They’re...
What do I do?!?! She has what looks like 3 places of it. I’ve read to use duck shoes, but she’s huge ( jumbo Pekin) and all the shoe reviews say they run small. Please help, my sweet girl needs prayer and attention!
I recently got a two year old rooster from someone in the city. He seemed healthy friendly and was just missing a few toes from a past injury. The rooster is currently limping on his feet and holding his foot up. His feet and toes seem swollen and he just stands around in the snow all day. The...
I just bought 3 quail hens 2 days ago and just noticed their feet have some droppings stuck on and lumps. The white hen is also missing a patch feathers on her chest. They preen quite a lot but I haven't seen them pull any out and plus there are no feathers laying around in their cage. So maybe...
