In the Brooder
So, my 14ish month old Australorp rooster, Scraggle has had a bump on his foot for a while now. He seems to walk at least mostly normal but I’m concerned that it’s bothering him. We thought it was bumblefoot after reading some other forums and did some minor surgery but didn’t see any infection to clean out. So we packed tripple antibiotic ointment on it and bandaged it up for about a week. Now it looks larger than before. Anyone have an idea what I’m dealing with here?
The line is the scar from the surgery
bottom of the same foot. No foreign objects.
Now for the second part. He’s also got these red patches of skin. Another forum said it was a fungal infection like athlete’s foot and the fix we saw was to use athlete’s foot cream which we have been doing. Again, does anyone here have a diagnosis? Watches are on his belly aft of his breast bone, above his vent and the underside of his tail nub.
