Red foot? Bumble foot? Something else?

[Abbkayx]

Hi!

I have a roo who is about a year old, who has some redness and inflammation on his foot. He doesn’t favor it, or limp, and it doesn’t seem to bother him. I was able to examine it without issue, and apply oil with no problems. In the photo you can see where his feathers would be (he’s a Brahma with feathered feet), but obviously some feathers are missing. He’s a very very big bird. He’s probably easily 8+ lbs.

I just put some oil on his legs before the photo so he’s super oily, but does anyone know what might be causing the redness?


Thanks in advance!

Interesting? It looks like some kind of fungal infection to me!
I have not experienced that on any of my Roos before. Does he fight with other Roos?

Even at night roosting he’s impossible to catch. I will have my fiancé run out with me to try to get some pics.

Yeah it’s so strange. I’ve looked up bumble foot and it doesn’t quite look like that. And it’s super super dry here right now, I can’t imagine him getting it now... but maybe.


And no he never fights with anyone. He’s a little rough with my girls, but never any fighting.

MAKE him soak his feet in warm Epsom salt water. Apply some cream to keep his feet soft. Repeat often. Poor guy is probably hurting show pic of him. I bet he's a hansome guy!

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's bumblefoot... But just my opinion!
