    Is this bumblefoot ?

    Hello to all of you chicken enthusiast ! I was hoping my first post on this forum would be something more positive, but I have a bit of a problem with one of my hens.

    Dealing with buildup of poop/dirt between toes

    I'll preface this by saying that I did not take any pictures. My 4 year old Plymouth Barred Rock had a swelling between two toes of each foot. After inspection, I found that a wad of dirt and poop had collected in the webbing between 2 of her toes. This was the situation on each foot. I cleaned...
