I did a google search on bumblefoot, it sounds like you did the right thing, bumblefoot is basically staph, once you got that ball of crap out, it will drain and you can clean it out...

Thanks for the welcome!

I just posted some pics in the breed/gender forum. I think out of our eight, we have at least two roos.

Which stinks b/c we can't keep them. I have a friend who might be able to take them but I think she would be butchering them. So if anyone wants a couple to raise.......

Yup. I'm headed to bed also. I'll "see" ya'll later.

Yes for sure, when they jockey for position at night they kinda scoot and shuffle from side to side trying to get the best spot. And if your roost are rough or in bad shape this can happen especialy when their feet are wet or moist. That's why everybody recommends rounding the roost edges.
