It's been like six months of her limping. Other than that she appears to be fine. I've checked her legs/feet/toes and see nothing. The bantam cochin started doing it a couple of months afterward but I think that was due to an overzealous English Orpington cockerel climbing over the two-foot fence and stepped on her.
That is confusing. I have absolutley no idea of what it could be but if you haven't already you should upload the problem to an injury forum and see if the rest of the internet can figure it out
It is. And with no other diagnostic information to give I haven't. I don't think anyone would figure it out.
I wash the foot, peel off the bumble, squeeze out any pus, soak in weak tea colored diluted iodine for ten minutes, fill with anti bacterial ointment, and wrap. Then repeat daily.
I've been pretty good, busy though. I need to remember to check byc more often.
So you've completely removed the eschar and it keeps coming back??? The treatment you're giving is the most thorough I've ever heard of, if it's still coming back after doing that every day then it must be an indestructible bumble or something
Yep. I've treated bumble many times, and usually don't have a problem after treatment. This girl just seems especially prone.
I had an older hen do something similar and it turned out to be arthritis so it might be that
She’s under two years…
Oh! That’s so cool! My older sister has a rock tumbler and she’s tumbled some really pretty ones!
Oh my goodness, they are sooo cute! I want them too!
