Early stages of bumble foot?

Sounds good! Should I separate her? I have a broody box that is the perfect size for 1 chicken.

It's not contagious, so it's your call there. Though I would, to limit the amount of things she does on her foot.

Ok. My coop is very large for the amount of hens I have so it might be a good idea for the first few days of treating it. What should I do if it gets worse? How long do you think this small patch will take to heal?

If it gets worse, give it another soak and gently try to wedge it out (I recommend trying this tomorrow anyway). After getting the yucky nob out, spray her foot with Vetericyn. With the right treatment, it shouldn't take too long to heal.

Thank you! I do not have Vetericyan right now would it be ok to order it on Amazon and it come tomorrow? Should I still take the scab off?

Yes, you may as well. Then tomorrow, you can spray it.

How is she going?

I found out another one has it too but they are doing great! They hates the bandages but they stayed on. I took one scab off and I’m taking the other one off today. The medicine is coming tomorrow so I’m sure they’ll be fine! They have been getting extra treats and don’t show thebumble foot bothering them in any way.

Well that is great news (except for finding one more).

I rebandaged them (and added vetericyan) is this what the wound healing is supposed to look like or something I should peel off?
