    Is this bumblefoot healing

    Both my roos and 3 of my hens have bumblefoot. 3 of them have it on both feet. We did surgery on 1 foot of 3 birds since we didn't know exactly what we were doing. None of the 3 had a kernel. They had small plugs attached to the scab, but no kernel. The 2 roos had a little pus in it, but the hen...

    Hi everyone! I have done one bumble foot surgery before on this chicken and on this same foot. She is a sedentary, overweight four-year-old that came to us with bumble foot. We did the first removal last year, and we were able to pry the scab and core out after soaking and a little bit of...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    Hello! My 8month female Pekin duck has slowly developed these callouses under her middle toes only. She isn't limping and hasn't changed how she walks. Please can someone tell me if this could be bumblefoot? Thanks in advance!

    My black laced red Wyandotte, Layla, has developed bumblefoot. But it's on her TOE. Currently, I have soaked it, cleaned it lightly with Thycerin (sp?) , and applied Prid to it. I'd prefer to try non surgical if possible at first. Regardless, I have no idea how to properly bandage a...

    Bumblefoot?

    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...

    Swollen foot indian runner duck

    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...

    Bumblefoot in Jumbo Pekin

    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...

    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...

    Anyone know what this was?

    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)...

    Silkie With Bumblefoot?

    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...

    Bumblefoot or Broken bone

    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...
