Hi all,
Thought I would post a reply as I have successfully treated my Brahma roos.
Having read the posts I started with the simplest first....daily dilute iodine soaks (One person holding the roo and dipping them into a fairly deep bath of the solution for about 30 seconds up to the hocks). I then took a paper towel and roughly dried them after which I applied a fairly thick coat of human antiseptic cream to the base of the foot and leg feather shafts.
After a week to 10 days of this treatment the legs look pretty normal.
I know there are quite a few folk out there who have been having a problem with something similar on their feather-footed friends. Though this may not work for everyone as there are probably a number of different causes, it is well worth trying,
Sandie
