Hey all, saw my leghorn pullet limping today, and her foot is very swollen. Is it bumblefoot? She’s a pain to catch so I don’t have any pics of the bottom. I’ll attach the pics I could get. Also, does my Brahma have leg mites?

I agree, the brahma I would treat for scaly leg mites. For the other, go out after dark and take that bird off the roost (no need to chase and they are usually calmer then), and examine the foot and get pictures of the bottom of it. Wrap the bird in a towel to help hold the wings inf neccessary, and lay her on her back, they usually calm down that way.
