I might be making progress with Red Rum's bumblefoot, after soaking her feet in Epsom salts at the chicken spa today I got the scab off and cleaned it out and sprayed some antibacterial on it. Didn't have any Vetrap but the local feed store has some so tomorrow I'll bandage it up. She stays off of that foot for the most part. Got a second one with a tiny scab and her foot is still swollen so they both get a soak in the chicken spa warm water with Epsom salts.

Dry as a bone here, I’m still watering the garden....
Here is our winter lettuce

and summer’s mini peppers

Soaked and cleaned the bumblefoot and applied some triple antibiotic cream, a gauze pad and it looks like a 3 year old wrapped the foot up in Vetrap lol. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better...

Rainbow alert!

Now that I'm an expert at bandaging chicken feet today came out much better. You know your an expert if you do something twice in Ripley county... oh wait I'm not in Ripley county... better keep practicing.

We got 5" of rain in two days. Both hens with bumblefoot seem to doing better each day.
