I’ve got this rooster that has bumble foot (90% sure). I was wondering if he had more than one spot on the same foot (pads on each toe and main part of foot). Any advice on it would be appreciated and advice on treating it as well.
Thanks!

It could be incipient bumblefoot, meaning, it's not yet infected, but it could turn into bumblefoot unless the source of the abrasions isn't corrected.

He's bruising his feet somehow. You need to check his perch to be sure it isn't too high. There may not be enough cushioning under the perch and he's hurting his feet when he hopes down. As roosters age, they get heavier and less agile. Recently, I needed to lower my two roosters'perch by ten inches because they were getting injured.

Treat his feet a few times a day with Vetericyn spray, and that should prevent infection and allow the feet to heal.
