If I say that I can’t remember which foot she is favoring (though I swear it’s the left), Will you try to understand that I was paying more attention to the human Duckling?

One of the ducklings is making noises. And it sounds like a deep honking noise. And I think its coming from the big one.

What on earth am I looking at? It doesn’t look like bumble foot to me.

Hope you have been well. It is very good to know you are here.

Decreasing some girls this fall to make a little room for a couple young-egg layers.

Ugh, I was dreading this. My favorite fat chicken, Fluffy, was not on the perch so I picked her up and had a feeling something was wrong. Sure enough, I checked and it looks like she has a bad bumblefoot. How can I take care of this? From what I remember - a soak in warm water with epsom salts? I don't want to cut it out of her. Our rooster also has a small one that I've put off on treating because, life. Ugh looks like my weekend will be full of treating chickens... any advice? Thank you!

Warm Epsom salt soak then try to squeeze it out. I've always had the best luck just cutting it out then bandaging up the wound.
