Hi Guys! I noticed our pet rooster has been standing on one leg and limping a little bit here and there for the past few days. I checked out his feet and noticed a scab on his toe- not where I would expect to see bumblefoot (however I have no experience with it). As a chick he had horrible splayed legs (came to us from a hatchery) that we had to treat, and while he made an excellent recovery, his feet still look a little jacked up to me compared to our silkie hens. He's always walked on his tippy toes, and I'm wondering this is causing too much pressure on his toe area, thus the scabbing. Any ideas? Does this look like bumblefoot or anything to be concerned about?
(last pic is just for giggles, I tried soaking his feet in some Epsom salt water last night)
