Bumble foot or just a scab?

[HappyChickens101]

Is this bumble foot? Her foot doesn’t seem that swollen but it does look like the cork part. Is there something I should put on it?

Yes, that is bumblefoot. I dab a bit of durasole (product for horse feet) on my chicken's feet that look like that and it heals in a week or so. However, people have other treatments for it. https://the-chicken-chick.com/bumblefoot-causes-treatment-warning/

Yes. When I see that on my chickens, I treat for bumblefoot. Someone had a unique way of treating it-they said, at roost time, put a salve called Prid (at Walgreens) on the foot. In the morning, as some plain neospirin. Repeat for a week, and the bumblefoot will heal. I’m going to try it. No need to wrap or surgically fix.

Could I just put either one of these on it? We have other farm animals that we put the iodine solution on to heal infections.

So there’s no need to soak and pull it out?

Will either of the products I posted work? I have neosporin , but currently quarantined and can’t go out:/.

I don't get too aggressive when they look like this and there is no lameness. At this stage I'll just dab Durasole on it and observe. If there is swelling and lameness I will soak in epsom salt and apply a drawing salve, wrap it and check/change daily. I try to avoid cutting open as much as possible. If you do have to cut out it is recommended to use an antibiotic.

Ok. So I don’t have durasole so I may just use the products that I have. Surely it’ll help it a little right?

I've used both products. I like the iodine.
