so my rooster is 2.5 years old, hes pretty healthy and fine however almost a month ago, i noticed the bumblefoot on both of his leg and searched up on google about it and it got me very worried because it said bumblefoot can grow into chickens bones and body and kills them, which made me get on...
Hello chicken friends! This is my first post on this site. We have 7 chickens (2 Easter eggers, 2 barred rocks, 3 green queens) and they are about 10 months old. All of them have black scabs on the bottoms of their feet. Most are small. After researching and watching 30+ YouTube surgery videos...
I have three ducks that have various stages of bumblefoot. Its fairly visible on all of them but isn't restricting any of their mobility. I dont have the resources to take them to a vet so i've been trying to do home remedies.
To start off I'm having issues wrapping their feet so the...
Hi all,
I noticed a couple of days ago one of my male Aylesbury ducks had begun limping on his left foot and inspected to find what I presume is bumblefoot. Since then I’ve been soaking in Epsom salt but it seems to be rock hard and deep seated in his foot, now leaving a hole. He seems content...
Hello all, looking for advice in a few areas but most concerned about my ducks poor feet. They have a couple grassy walnut laden acres to roam and are houses under the trampoline at night. It can get muddy but we dry to maintain the front half so that its never saturated and they do always have...
Hey guys, one of my runners started limping and when I checked her foot, there was no injury to the pad like I assumed there would be. There is a swollen area on the top between two of the toes, which feels warm to the touch. Should I lance this and try to see if there's anything to drain? Leave...
Thanks to all the Backyard posters here and YouTube Videos, I recognized bumblefoot in my 1 year old rescue Jumbo Pekin female. I was surprised that such a tiny calcified/keratinized area could lead to so much swelling.
I soaked her for about 15 minutes in the sink, then slowly worked on the...
Hi all, I'm anxious because I need to take my 2 y/o GLW to the vet tomorrow afternoon. She has double bumblefoot that hasn't responded to my care and recently started laying soft shelled eggs. On top of this, she overheats and gets stressed very easily (panting/wings held out)--I'm talking she...
My 13 month old GLW has always battled recurring bumblefoot. She frequently has 1-2 booties on at any given time in the year. This past winter, she had a double bumble situation that came and went but never fully resolved. Unfortunately this means she's still getting the boots now that temps are...
Hi, my year old Pekin female got a case of bumblefoot, we brought her in and treated, got the "plug' out, but she has not walked in a week, won't put any pressure in foot/leg, has not eaten, is drinking but losing weight,. We have her inside and comfortable...
One of our hens has been limping on and off for a bit now. We did notice a toe missing (we assumed frostbite after a cold winter?) and some swelling. It seemed to get better and then worse for about 2 weeks now. We had caught her a few times looking for any black scabs (suspected bumble foot)...
My hen has been having foot issues for over a month & a half. Swollen ankle area on both sides. Hurts to stand/walk. No visible bumble/opening/scab. I’ve tried Epsom soaks, aspirin, colloidal silver, essential oils, wraps, antibiotic ointment, rest, vetericyn, enrotex (broad spectrum...
Hello everyone,
Let me preface this by saying that I am a grad student that lives at my parents house. If I seem uninvolved in this situation, that's why. My mom does most of the chicken work!
Recently, one of our silkies has developed swollen toes and feet. I noticed it about a week ago. Her...
Our sweet “Maggie” is about 1 year old. When she was 5month old, she started limping. We noticed there was a small bump between toes. We figured it was like a bumblefoot. We have treated bumblefoot on chicken and geese by ourselves before, but we were not able to hold her down to provide the...
My rooster jumped off from our two story building and got hurt. He’s not able to move, and one of his ankle is swollen. Took him to the vet and he says it’s bumblefoot. Can he get bumblefoot by falling off from two storey building? I feel
he might’ve suffered a broken bone or a displaced joint...
I treated my rooster for bumblefoot a few months back and after the surgery he stopped having diarrhea. He still wont put weight on his foot though. Please watch this video and tell me what you guys think?
Good morning together!
One of the chickens, Blueberry, a very heavy bird (Beechwood Blue), has had some trouble recently. She's always had terrible bumblefoot since she's such a heavy breed (I tried to cut it out but failed, not allowed to try again and vets here don't do it or care), and she...
Hey folks. New to this site.
I have an ongoing issues with our huge cuckoo maran rooster (Buck). He has/has bumblefoot. It started a few months ago when just just stopped walking. We brought him inside and put him in a crate by the woodstove. He hardly ate or drank. We researched what to do...
My 8 month old Pekin hen (I think she’s actually a jumbo Pekin), has what I assume to be bumblefoot on one of her toes. We discovered it during a regular foot check, though she has not been limping, she’s eating and drinking normally, happily mating with our drake, and laying an egg a day.
I’m...
My almost 2 y/o GLW is prone to annual bouts of bumblefoot, usually beginning in the winter of each year. Last winter we didn't catch it until it had severely progressed (we were new to chicken-keeping and didn't even know what bumblefoot was at the time). Luckily, a vet ended up performing...
