They say to reduce the height of your roost bars for heavy breed birds because the constant impact of there weight hitting the floor can cause bumble foot. Also to make sure you have a thick layer of bedding on your coop floor to help absorb some of the impact.

Thanks. I will reduce it and put extra bedding down

hi Red! Is this a favorite of fancy roo? Are you SURE it's bumblefoot? I've read a bit about bumble foot. Treatment is extensive with fair success. No disrespect meant, but would you consider culling if it's advanced? It's nasty stuff and like granny said.   

it's my only roo right now and my favorite and my hen won't sleep without him. I separated the two before and both of them were pitiful.

I googled bubblefoot, they have Utube videos on it. The Chicken Chick covers the treatment. I'm sure there is stuff on this site as well.

thank you. YouTube video will be great.

Nite Camping, have a blast at the sale tomorrow.

Red, there is a lot of good info out there on it. Hope you caught it in time. Make sure you wear gloves everytime you are treating it. If you decide to try to cut it out, try to have help. If you snuggly wrap you bird up in a towel he will be calmer. Don't cover his face with the towel though. You can place something light weight over his head so he can't see & relaxes. Make sure your helper holds his foot steady for you to cut into.

Put the hen with him then, just keep them in a small space where he will be forced not to move around a lot.

UGH NO WAY. Too much sodium, plus mine is the best. I can't feed Louisianans boxed stuff! They'll know. I'm going to get it rolling at 6 so it can simmer for six hours. Get some sausage in there, a couple of bay leaves, and golden sweet cornbread to crumble on top. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.

you're right. Nummers with the sausage! I've learned to settle!
