Howdy y'all can anyone help with my Rooster?

[Dena Leannetta]

My Rhode Island Red rooster Big Red has had a swollen leg and foot for a few weeks now there is a small cut on the bottom of his foot I think it might be bumblefoot but my rooster and chickens are only a year old I still am learning and I need help

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It could be bumble foot but with swelling up in the leg, it may be infected.
You should start a new thread in the ER forum with pictures of his foot and leg.

agree with Dobie Lover - hope he will be well soon.

These are not very good pictures but I will take better ones tonight when they all go up in the coop

It's his right leg and foot is swollen there's a small abrasion on the bottom of his foot but there is no color change to that leg or foot. He is still very dominant and still looks after all of the chickens. He is still limping and I am unsure how to help him
