This poor Welsummer has shown up again. Similar to the last case I've had with randos in my yard, she has few feathers and signs of Bumblefoot. I haven't named her yet. She is a pretty bird and she stuffed silly on feed. Any ideas on help I can give. Will provide pics as soon as possible. She is the second bird to have just shown up... Any ideas on how to stop that to?

It might help you stop the chickens from coming into your yard.

Can you post a picture of her so we can see her physical condition? If she has only has a few feathers it sounds as if she was attacked. Bumblefoot usually isn't detrimental because the treatment is usually affective. It is easily prevented by keeping nails or any other sharp objects out of reach. Putting the foot in warm water with Epsom salt and vetericyn on the foot to kill any remaining bacteria is usually affective.

Thanks! it looks more like molt than attack however... I want to keep her safe I do, I just don't know after last time. I had to kill it she was so bad...

 

[pallas]

Yes, it was someone else's second case of a Welsummer in bad shape just showing up!

Is there a way you could find out who that is, a neighborhood block watch group or Facebook page?

I can’t I have no neighbors with chickens that I know of

 

[pallas]

That rules that out then

 

[pallas]

I’ve never had a chicken whith Bumble so I won’t be much help there
