First experience with bumblefoot

[Serenityintheverse]

Oh boy. Not looking forward to this. I work really long hours and it's dark when I leave in the mornings and dark when I get home. I'll just have to work on it every night. I'll probably keep them all inside the coop/run so she's not out scratching around in the wet leaves and grass.

Hopefully the wrap will stay on during the day when I'm not home. Worried it will attract pecking from the others.

If you wrap it well it will stay on and protect the foot

I've also had good luck with Banixx for Chixx! Am going to order some Prid.

I live in a dry climate (not hot, but not TOO cold) and for whatever reason we tend to have more problems in the summer. Makes doctoring easier as the days are longer! Last summer my entire flock had it so we'll see what happens this year. Ugh.

HI Hedwal, I'm curious what state you live in / how many of your chickens got the bumble / and were they all the same breed? Cause I live in about the same climate as you mentioned and I had bumblefoot last year for the 1st time in years- never had it before. And only my "problematic from the 1st day I got them "-55 Flowery hens got bumble. I've read about not putting perches / roosting bars too high, sanding down rough edges, etc. etc. But I think it's something else and you mentioning the climate caught my eye. Thanks in advance
