while investigating the cause of one of my chickens swollen toe I read about bumblefoot and think possibly one of our other chickens might have that. It seems to be on both feet though so I’m also wondering about gout. Does this look normal to you or is this bumblefoot that needs to be treated? If yes, I welcome advice for the best way to go about treating it! Thank you!

Looks like it. Treat with some warm water and epsom salt. Use a shallow dish and fill it with some warm water and epsom salt. Soak it for 20-30 minutes or until the pads are soft. Then, grab a sanitized tweezer and pluck out the plug. Apply some pain killer free neosporin.

Thanks so much for the quick response. Any tips for getting the chicken to stay in the soak for 20-30 min? Can we bandage and put her back with the other chickens?
