Bumblefoot help

[Tolayducks]

How did it end up going? I’ve only dealt with bumble foot once and it was on a hen earlier this year. Unfortunately I lost her…

Well it’s healing really well… unfortunately, it looks like majority of my ducks have the start of bumble foot… so we are thinking of cutting the back yard in half and “softening” the ground. None of them are limping and nothing looks swollen, but as soon as I picked them up it looks like the start of bumble foot so trying to stay on top of it. I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your girl… I just lost one and am still trying to figure out what happened.. possibly a prolapsed vent

We found out our girl got bumble foot from scratching and cutting her foot on a piece of metal in the ground. Since we have been using all purpose sand instead it has done wonders!
