Arizona Chickens

I’ll ask her today, if she is the person I am thing of.. she told me years ago & I think it’s the same person.... how did you contact her?

Through the Phoenix Craigslist ad that she posted about the rare breed chickens. That Splash Chiquita is what caught my eye.

Here's the link I seen them at and tried to contact her through it:

Do you do surgery on the foot? I don't mind soaking and wrapping, it's the cutting I'm unsure about I hope Gus is feeling better soon!

I’m a nurse so I don’t mind the cutting part. I did cut the one foot and was expecting all this stuff to come out but nothing really came out. I’m just soaking and wrapping.

On the bumblefoot - you generally don't get gooey/runny gunk - like pus. Usually its a hard kernel of gunk. It truly is weird. Sometimes you might not get a kernel but a pus that is more like bubblegum than anything. Mostly I've had the kernels.
Thanks everyone for the input re the nail polish. I didn't think about the pecking thing. Don't need to start something like that. I can use bands and it would probably be safer all around.

My home phone is dumb. It doesn't text.

That's exactly what I pulled out of the white leghorn- a hard yellow kernel. She has a scab again on that spot though.

Strange how those thing's can get into the bottom of their feet.

I really didn’t get anything out of it.

Does anyone routinely dust their chickens or coop with food grade DE? ALSO do you use poultry spray as preventative measure just in case?

I don't think I have mites in the run but I want to do a preventative spray and cleaning
