Hey everyone. This is my first real post and I’m a new duck momma, so please excuse my ignorance 🙂. Our duck pen is currently awaiting some renovations to add more chicken wire and predator proofing so that they can be safe at night, so our 2 ducks temporarily go in their pen during the day, and...
I finally did it: I created an article on how to wrap chicken feet. I consider myself a little bit of an expert because I’ve been dealing with an ungodly amount of bumblefoot in the flock lately. *sigh*
Wrapping feet is necessary after any sort of foot pad surgery (most commonly to treat...
One of my ducks, Mav, has been having a fight with bumblefoot for a bit. She’s on antibiotics and it has been getting better steadily.
today I was sitting with them when Mav refused to walk. She would stay laying down and wiggle across the yard like a demented snake. She doesn’t put any...
My 3 ducks got attacked by a coyote 3 nights ago. 2 passed away, but one survived the attack. He has five wounds, but we treated them and he is healing very well. Up until today he has been able to slowly walk around, but today he has began limping and refusing to put any weight on his foot. I...
I’ve been having some issues with one of my duck’s foot. It started about 2 weeks ago - Mav started limping after another duck, Luna, attempted to mount her (ducks are now separated til my males stop being hormonal).
separated Mav for the night so she’d be encouraged to just rest.
after a few...
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...
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...
Please help my indoor chickens.....
They have black spots growth or wound on their feet .... been placing betadine and also oregano extract on their feet... not only on their feet there seems to have white spot on their comb / wattle. Multiple chickens involved. 2 pullet 5 month old, 3 2month...
Hi everyone. I noticed this morning one of our Mystic Onyx hens is limping pretty pronounced. I did not notice it yesterday and when I grabbed her to exam it didn’t appear swollen but it did seem tender when I touched it and she reacted and there was no scab like google suggests bumblefoot...
I noticed a few days ago my hen Fauna has a lump on top of her toe, but I couldn't tell what it was so I sprayed some oregano on it and waited to see if it'd shrink. I came back after the weekend and its a bit bigger now, so I did more research. I don't think its bumblefoot, I can't find a scab...
We have a hen who is just over a year old. about a month ago she started limping and his left foots middle toe(idk if that’s what they are called on ducks) is swollen. The bottom size of it you can see where it looks like she stepped on something. We figured infection. Cleaned it up sprayed with...
My hen has been having foot issues for over a month & a half. Swollen ankle area on both sides. Hurts to stand/walk. No visible bumble/opening/scab. I’ve tried Epsom soaks, aspirin, colloidal silver, essential oils, wraps, antibiotic ointment, rest, vetericyn, enrotex (broad spectrum...
My RIR had a ingrown nail that is now healed. He still limps and his foot is swollen. I don’t see anything that should be causing it. He still eats and drinks. He favors his left foot and don’t put all his weight on it. This makes it impossible to roost. Please help.
My 8 month old Pekin hen (I think she’s actually a jumbo Pekin), has what I assume to be bumblefoot on one of her toes. We discovered it during a regular foot check, though she has not been limping, she’s eating and drinking normally, happily mating with our drake, and laying an egg a day.
I’m...
Hi everyone, I have an adult pekin drake who is an indoor/outdoor pet. He is my baby boy and totally babied so I am very worried. He comes inside at night and stays in the largest rubbermaid tote I’ve ever seen since we have a problem around here with raccoons and stuff and don’t want him eaten...
I noticed my goose's foot is making a clicking noise every time she takes a step, should I be concerned she is 4-5 months old and she walks fine other then the noise with every step.
We have a 6 month old pekin duck that lives in our back yard with a pond. We feed it regularly but it has a foot injury and is having trouble walking. Can you help with what this injury may be and what we can do? Here is a pic
