In the Brooder
Hi all!! This is my first post on BYC but i have been using the site for some time to look up concerns etc. We recently adopted 5 production reds and one of them came to us with a droppy comb and watery droppings. I had no clue what was wrong, she was laying fine, eating fine. A couple weeks ago i noticed swelling in her foot and saw what looked like bumblefoot. I attempted to treat it with soaks , Prid drawing salve , and wrapping it. There was never really a scab for me to remove. But overtime her footpad has hardened and she doesn’t want to walk on it and seems uncomfortable even just sitting on it. I don’t really want to cut her foot open but i do feel there is an infection under there causing her pain and discomfort. She still eats and drinks fine, and tries to forage with her sisters. But I’m really worried about the limp
