I was giving my 4-year old Barred Plymouth Rock a butt bath after several days of very rainy weather and noticed these lumps on her feet. She has had no issues with walking – no limping, etc., so I hadn’t noticed them. She eats, drinks, poops, forages, and lays normally. She squats to have me pick her up as is normal for her. No behavioral symptoms. The “butt bath” consisted of warm water, Epsom salts, and a squirt of Dawn dish liquid to get some caked-on mud off her feathers in the rear. We have sand in the runs and either Koop Clean or pine shavings in the coop and nestboxes.
Can someone tell me whether this is bumblefoot or something else and recommend how best to treat it?
