Bumblefoot?

[newchck]

One of my red's was having some trouble walking this morning. She generally seems like she feels lethargic, but I decided to look at her feet and I found what looks like it may be bumblefoot? Or just a cut of some sort? Both of her feet seem to have it. Any advice / knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

It looks like a cut and can turn into bumblefoot. I would soak her foot in warm Epsom salt water and put on neosporin. It doesn't look too far along.

Thank you! We gave her a soak and put on some neosporin. Is it possible that the cut is the cause of her lameness? She will move around a bit in the coop, but hasn't left. Last I checked her she was laying in the nesting box.

Can you see any splinters? Bumblefoot can definitely cause them to limp.

We didn't notice any splinters. I decided to clean out and replace the bedding in their coop and we isolated her into a small coop for the time being. She generally seems unwell. Not walking well (she will, but only a few steps) her comb is flopped over and you can tell she is just so tired. She is still eating and drink well at the moment so we are just going to watch how she is doing.

Its probably good that you isolated her so that you can keep an eye on her. Maybe try some nutri-drench if she needs a boost.
