Hi, y’all
I have a few chickens with bumble feet. And today I decided to try to “operate” on one of them. I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of information and felt like I was ready, but it was harder than what I thought. It was awful, actually. I soaked my hen for 45 minutes two different times. I used a straight edge razor and tweezers and pulled the scab off. There wasn’t a “kernel” that popped out and it looked like there was white, fleshy stuff in the hole. She bled during this ordeal, but I did get something out but it was soft. I’m just at a loss. I don’t want to hurt them, but I need to get it out! Any help would be appreciated. This is one of my girls with it. This is what came out during surgery.
