hii!!
so my silkie has had bumble foot(i think) for a few months.. she hasnt shown signs of limping and if u didnt pick her up and actually look you probably wouldn't know. its not EXTREMELY hot (its the same as my non bumble foot chickens) and shes living life great. maybe a bit slower then the other chcikebs but shes a silkie and isnt as determined as the other ones. (the other ones are all commercial layers)
what do i do- do i still treat it?
((photos attatched)

thank you so much,

Yes, it looks like bumble and yes you should treat it. Chickens cannot expel infections by themselves and you must intervene. Untreated, the infection may move to the bone. If that happens prognosis is poor.
