Does she have bumble foot?

[Jajika]

I have a beautiful Silver laced Wyaandott and she is a rescue. She is blind in one eye and the sweetest chicken ever. However, lately she has taken to staying in the coop almost all day and comes out later to eat and drink. She is limping so I'm guessing her feet hurt. I've posted some photos of her legs and feet and would greatly appreciate some feedback?

It looks like she could be suffering from articular gout from the swelling of her toes and feet. Do both feet look the same to you? There also looks like she might have some scaly leg mites, but I am not sure. I would soak her legs in warm Epsom salts water for about 15 minutes a day. Then apply some thick oil of choice (castor, mineral, vegetable, shortening, or vaseline are good,) and repeat daily or as often as possible. There is no cure for gout, but some use tart cherry extract capsules and have had some good results. Read post 16 here:

The redness on her right footpad could also be the beginning of bumblefoot. The soaking will help that as well.

Thank you so much. Question=How do you feed them the dark red cherry capsules. In water? Or a dropper?

Here is an update to my post about HHei Hei having Bumble Foot. I soaked her feet in warm water and coated them with petroleum jelly. After about a week she started coming out of the coop and walking more steadily. Then, she came out more often and stopped limping. And finally she is back hanging with her peeps, walking around and being her old self! Boy and I relieved. Thank you all so much for your support and suggestions. I have my Hei Hei back again.

That's wonderful news!
