Rooster's feet are both very swollen

[Overlyprotectivemother]

My adult rooster, a bantee I think, has very swollen feet. I noticed about five days ago that he was not leaving the coop much. Today I picked him up and realized he is very thin and his feet are huge. It is not one spot. It is both feet and the whole foot. I read that he may have gout due to eating calcium enriched laying food. I have had rooster for 30 years and never had this problem. My chickens are free range and I suppliment with Purina Layena pellets. I don't know what to do to help my sweet Rooster.

Any chance you could post pictures? That will probably help with diagnosis. Also have you checked to see if either foot has any kind of wound on it that could have caused the swelling? Bumblefoot is very common and could definitely hit both feet at once. It's caused by infected wounds in the feet.
