    Rhode island red rooster lameness

    Hi My rhode island red rooster about 5 months old has one leg lame, it is usually lying down and walks crisscrossing. Should i cull the rooster? I have tried giving multivitamins and provide calcium supplements, but no improvement. It seems to get worse as the rooster gains more weight growing up.

    Check your ducks feet!!

    This is your formal reminder to check your ducks feet, even if they aren’t acting weird!! All of my ducks were walking completely the same, no limping, no weird behavior, no lethargy. I only discovered their bumblefoot upon seeing it while they were swimming. This is pretty severe, and they...

    Bumblefoot Aftermath

    Hello again! So, I just thought I'd ask, to be proactive. Over the last year, I have been battling bumblefoot with my hens. I had to do many mini 'surgeries' to drain the bumblefoot, then I would use hen healer ointments/sprays and wrap their feet/foot. Around 4 months ago, two of my hens...

    My beautiful chicken Louise developed a bump on her foot and she was limping. It was called Bumblefoot when we looked it up. My boyfriend and I proceeded to clean and prep her foot with Epson salt, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. Using a sterilized scalpel he put a cut down the front of the...

    Help! Chicken with Bumblefoot in need!

    Hello, I am a beginner chicken owner, and have had chickens for 7 months. I first notified that my chickens had bumble foot mid September. Even worse, all ten of my chickens had it.

    Has anyone had any success with antibiotics for bumblefoot?

    Hey everyone. So, I dont often hear about antibiotics given to a chicken to treat bumblefoot. I saw a few threads here about it but none seemed to end in a resolution about whether it worked or not. I think I've seen one or two people in other threads say they tried it but it didn't work too...

    hi there, our whiting hen has a brown raised bump/scar on the bottom of her foot. see pics. there’s no redness, no heat, no limping, no sign of infection. in fact i never would have known she had the bump if i hadn’t been doing a semi-routine foot check. she seems entirely unbothered about...

    Ugh bumblefoot

    Caught my EE limping, so I scooped her up, checked her feet and yup bumble foot. I don’t think it’s bad, I think I caught it in time before it did get bad. I started her last night with a 20 min epsom salt soak, veterycin spay, wrapped it and put her back out, this morning soaked it, sprayed...

    Baytril 2.5% or 10% for Treating a Recurring Swollen Bumblefoot??

    I have heard many different opinions on whether to use or not use Baytril 2.5% or Baytril 10% to help cure a recurring and swollen bumblefoot. Question 1: Is Baytril SAFE for hens and, after a 2 week egg dumping/withdrawal period, can I eat the eggs from my treated hens? Question 2: If I...

    Bumblefoot?

    I have a roo with what looks like bumblefoot. His foot is huge. I got the black scab off and makes a incision. Only thing that comes out so blood. I used tweezers and still can’t find anything. Is it just really huge I need a deeper cut? Is it not bumblefoot? Am I just not doing it right? It’s...

    Bumblefoot- How aggressive to treat this?

    My hen, Maude, has bumblefoot on both feet for the second time. About this time last year she got it for the first time. The last time it wasn't as bad as this, but I removed the scabs and treated with tricide-neo and it did the trick. Since then, I have learned that if there isn't any redness...

Since then she has a bad limp, there’s a bump on the bottom of her foot that’s pinkish and now her leg is starting to swell and it’s all warm. I thought it might be bumblefoot...

    Ugh, Bumblefoot…

    I unfortunately lost a chicken earlier this year after attempting to remove the bumblefoot from the bottom of her foot. It was in a tough spot though. I now have another hen with the same issue, but fortunately hers is right on the bottom of her foot. On my last chicken I tried cutting and...

    Swollen Bumblefoot pad

    My SLW just had bumblefoot, and after I dug the scab out, I sprayed it with some Vetrycerin and wrapped it with the Vet Wrap. It's been three days, and it looked good enough for me to take the wrapper off, so I did and then I noticed that her toes are swollen more that the ones on her other...
