About a week ago, right after temperatures plummeted from 70 to 40 F (Halloween T-Storm), I saw my oldest Orpington's feet turn red on the sides and fleshy parts. They weren't red before. She also has a raised bump in-between two of her toes, one on each foot. The one on her left foot has had a...

One of my hens have some swelling between her toes, everything seems to point to bumblefoot. Checked the underside and she has some brown/black patches. However, she seems completely unbothered by her foot, walks and runs and roosts without discomfort, and is eating and drinking normally. I gave...
Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to taking care of quail, so I'm not very familiar with what is normal.
Recently, I've noticed my pet Coturnix quail has been favoring one of her feet a little more than the other--sometimes she seems to limp, other times she walks totally fine. She also seems to be...
This is going to be a long one, but bear with me. I want to be sure to include every ounce of information that I can in order to figure out what the heck is going on!!!!
Okay. So, I came across information about bumblefoot ages ago when trying to figure out what was wrong with one of our...
Bumblefoot is no stranger to our flock, so it was easily recognizable when our three-year old welsummer (Summer) came down with it recently. Usually we take our ladies in to the vet to have it taken care of, but our avian vet is on vacation and the soonest appointment offered will be more than...
I need help figuring out what this might be. I thought scaly leg mites and have been treating him for that, he acts normally and no one else in the coop is having this problem. It looks painful but you would never know from his behavior. I oiled him up really well to mat feathers for pics and...
I have a chick that has a swollen foot and looks sickly. It doesn't want to walk and is very sleepy looking. It's foot almost looks like it has bumble foot but I don't know if chicks can get bumble foot. I'm worried about the poor thing and I'm scared that it won't survive.
Help!
My chicken has a strange soft lump on the side of her foot, she’s limping a lot and one of her wings is hanging to the side that has the lump on her foot. I have to hand feed her or I don’t think she eats because all I see her doing is laying on the ground. Her crown is also very pale and she’s...
A week or so ago I noticed that one of my birds, who is about 6 to 8 weeks old was walking funny. I tried moving the tendon back with my finger but that didnt work. It appeared to be a splayed leg. I used a rubber band and put the legs closely together... I checked on it every day. No real...
ok so I posted earlier about this one who spends a lot of time sitting/sleeping and is a little unsteady on her feet. Is this a foot problem? It seems her spurs/back toes are more forward and not offering stability:
Could that be the problem? Is there anything that can be done if so?
Apart...
Hi I have a young Isa brown hen who had a big (not to be gross) sack?! of something on the back/bottom of her foot. It was see-through then one day I checked on her and it popped a clear thick liquid. I took her in rinsed off her foot, put some cream on it, wrapped it up for about 24 hours with...
Hiya! I'm excited to announce that my dear silkie hen Malf has successfully hatched four beautiful chicks. The father is a young Chabo (Japanese Bantam) roo we call Solaire. The little crosses all appear healthy and happy, but I had a question. The first three eggs all hatched right on time, all...
Hey guys,
One of my ducks has a foot problem. The same duck that had issues earlier this year.

We noticed she was limping and so I soaked her foot and wrapped it up, thinking it might be the beginning of...
