I had not thought of the plastic bags. I will try that. He has heavily feathered feet and toes. I remember this morning that I had some clindamycin from the bumblefoot surgery from the vet. So I started him on that this morning.

I don't think so. It's both feet. I am pretty confident it is an infection. I wonder if he injured his toes in a fight with another rooster. They tied up and I quit letting the other one out but I never check his feet. I've been dealing with the WFBS and their bumblefoot for the last few weeks and had not noticed him. No clue how long its been festering. His feet are heavily feathered...even his toes.
Another question I thought of, should I try to do something with the swollen part between her toes? Its only on one side.
I didn't get time to check her foot today since my helper was at work and I am not sure how well I'll do holding the chicken and then re-wraping her myself.... I'm also pregnant, in my third trimester, so that doesn't helpside note to this my hen seems to walk just fine and perch, before and after the surgery.
whats a good homemade poultice I can use?
