We are in the middle of a massively awful heat wave in Texas. Temps are in the hundreds with heat index in the 115-120s. To help my girls, I put out shallow pans of cold water and my main hen, Pepper stands in it a lot during the day. She already has bumblefoot starting on both feet Itās not horrible and the scabs arenāt hard because she basically spends all day with her feet moist to keep cool.
We dealt with it towards the end of the summer last year so I know the basic treatmentā¦ but I donāt know what to do since its so stinking hot and I need her to keep cool in the baths. It hasnāt progressed to very deep or bad but I donāt know how to treat it while also letting her have her feet wetā¦seems like a losing battle. Any recommendations on how to attack this best? Iām not thinking of really treating it this weekend after these super high temps end.
@Wyorp Rock @azygous and anyone that can advise
