Hello all, long time viewer first time poster!
One of my Rhode Island Reds developed bumble foot. I understand that if you observe them limping then the infection is fairly far along, but nonetheless I believe I caught it relatively early because there wasn't a hard dried out pus ball. I did remove stringy mucus like infected bits though.
Anyway, that was last night and here in SW Virginia we are experiencing a sleet/ice storm so I left her in a closet with a screen in front. No she isn' t in the dark! Is it okay to have her in the closet for a bit and are there any health concerns for me?
I just figured she'd recovery quicker at room temp and not outside in the wet mud.
Thanks!
