So, after checking over me girls today I noticed by buff brahma has double bumble foot. There was a little swelling, no redness but scabs on each pad. I soaked her feet twice in a warm Epsom salt solution. Rubbed the area down with povidine. The scabs came off easily but there were no kernels or solidified pus after squeezing and digging around. The tissue was fairly soft under the scabs. I applied triple antibiotic ointment and wrapped. Should there have been a kernel? Should I have dug around more?
I put her back in the run for now but will probably bring her in overnight so she isn't hopping up and down on the roost.
The roost is 24 in off the ground. Is that too high for a brahma? Just trying to prevent this from happening again.
Thanks for any input.
