hi there,
So here's a bit of backgronud info:
I have a 2.5 year old easter egger rooster - who thinks he's a pet dog. He lives INSIDE the house as a family member. He sleeps in a closet with news papers and comes out and just chills in the room until we let him out. He's well trained - doesn't poop on carpet!
Diet:
pieces of dough
bird seeds
almonds, grapes, raisins, green peppers <-- these are more favourates.
I think that he got bumblefoot last year - but we always thought he limped b/c he jumped onto wooden/tile floor from the chairs. So I accidently discovered that this scab at the bottom of his foot was an indicator of bumblefoot. So We soaked his legs in some sanitized/salt water and removed the scab. (He's had it for a full year so it was pretty hard). There was no pus inside....so I just put some polysporin on it and wrapped it up with a piece of cloth.
He still limps from time to time and his foot his still swollen. Otherwise he's pretty normal - running around the house/ up and down stairs. We all love him very much - and I'm not sure what else I should do to keep him healthy......
Can anyone give me advice? He does go outside from time to time, he takes his baths on "his chair" or in carpet area where there is lots of sunlight so lice/mites/etc aren't a problem....
