My duck has been walking with a bad limp for a while now and it started off with the middle toe being swollen and a scab (I think it was black but with her dark skin it's hard to tell). I put her on anti-biotics (in her water) for a week. No effect. I went on holiday for two weeks and when I...

I have a young hen who is suddenly not putting weight on her left foot. She has been this way for a few days now. She is eating and drinking but not putting any weight at all on the leg. Yesterday I did not notice anything on the foot that might indicate an injury or infection but today I do see...

I know there is a wealth of info on bumblefoot treatment so maybe I’m looking for advice and maybe to vent a little. My chickens are basically my families pets. The poop in their coop is scooped out every morning. They have a soft sandy run and are let out a couple hours every day to free...

I'll try to get some photos a little later - I tried earlier with my husband's help but he wasn't really sure what I wanted/needed so what I have isnt super clear and they're a little too skittish to keep trying over and over, I'm trying to tire them out a bit with a big swim. I have two...

I got 6 new layers in April. I would say 3 were robust, but lots of green and vitamins and extra protein seemed to help them all. Anyways, we've had a few issues, that are sorted, mostly poopy vents and lice that came with a vengeance in the spring, first time for that beauty. But today, I...

Hey there friends! I need some help with one of the girls in our flock. Yesterday, we noticed our 4 month old orpington has pretty swollen ankles/ foot pads. She is getting around ok, still eating and drinking, but more calm and docile than normal (fell asleep in my arms today! Due to the size...

Hadn't noticed it but my girl usually had nice feet and now this is what I saw yesterday. Please let me know if you have any idea thank you~!

my meek little Agnes (a seven month old silver laced wyandotte hen) has had a persistent case of bumblefoot and a limp for a while. she was separated (still in the coop, just in a hutch with straw and water, they could see her the entire time) to heal and rest. unfortunately, now that shes being...

Hello all! Seeking hive mind advice for our silver-laced Wyandotte hen, Pepperpot. We noticed yesterday that the left side of her face is swollen and pale (see first pic). This is a new development that we didn't see last week. Upon further inspection, we also see that she has a case of...

Hi all! We have had several bouts of lameness go through our Pekin ducks. It started with one a while back, then a second, and now my husband noticed a third this morning. The first 2 have had a swollen digit (toe) that has spread to the ankle. I haven't checked the third yet. The first 2 I was...

I’ve been trying to treat one of my guineas for suspected bumble foot and come to the conclusion that it’s mites. There’s no bumble foot root and no scab anywhere and it’s both feet that are affected. She’s not easy to catch, so I’ve been periodically epsom salt soaking her feet and then...

A couple weeks ago we adopted three hens from a rescue group. They were rescued from a retiring farmer who was keeping several thousand hens in poor conditions, including insufficient food and water. About a week after adopting them, one of them started hiding, was lethargic, and had reduced...

Hi I'm new here. I have a 3 year old rooster Since last 2 weeks, his shanks are growing red and been swollen and is increasing. I've given him reliflam spray for redness and itching but it's not working I've also been treating him with honey by soaking his leg in warm water and epsom salt...

Today when I picked up one of my quails I saw that one of her feet is swollen. I soaked her feet in warm water and I took the photo afterwards. I've already seen bumblefoot on a chicken but I have no idea what to do. Is this even bumblefoot? What should I do?

I've posted before about my ~1 year old GLD who had severe bumble foot on the bottoms of both feet a few months back. She had surgery, and had since healed beautifully. Sadly, the last few days we've been getting abnormally torrential rains and it's been next to impossible to keep her run dry...

Hey guys. I have a Pekin Duck that’s 5 weeks old he hasn’t been able to walk very well and we figured it was a niacin deficiency so we started adding niacin to his diet. Just today I was getting him out to let him go for a swim and noticed 2 black dots on the top of his foot. I’ve looked it up...

Hi BYC duck/bumblefoot experts! My rescue girl, Jemima, started limping. When I looked, I noticed it was a little swollen. I followed a great thread on here about treating bumblefoot without surgery, simply soaking and eventually removing the hard kernel of infection to allow new growth (I had...

Is this bumble foot and if so what can I do? Been researching but want to hear from this community 😌 worried about our girl

Has anybody else have this happen to them? I had four chickens for 2 years without a SINGLE case of bumblefoot. All four of them were older girls (I got them older as a new chicken owner) and 3/4 passed away over the last year or so. Then, last year, I added 2 girls into the flock - so basically...
