She does walk by she prefers to lay down quietly. I read chickens can get gout. I also read about treating bumble foot but I don’t see any scabs and I don’t love the idea of just cutting the poor girls feet open everywhere she has a white swollen bump. I guess a trip to the vet is my and her best choice at this point. Thanks for replying to me.

Yes, if a vet is an opton, that would be great. In the mean time, warm epsom salt soaks on her feet might be soothing for her.

Did you see the response to your other thread? Someone else does think it’s gout.

 

[SueHasChickens]

She does like her soak in her feet every day. I’m not sure how to treat gout. I’ll do some internet searching now. Thanks for your help.
