Red foot? Bumble foot? Something else?

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Redness is normal in a roosters feet, it hormones.

Bumblefoot for sure!

Okay thank you! It doesn’t look like it’s progressed too much, right? If I
do the epsom soak and draw out salve should that help it?

I would try Epsom salt first, then see what happens after a while.

Awesome thanks for all of your help! How many times a day should I do the soak? Usually I can only catch him at night. They have access to their enclosed run 24/7, so unless he’s on his roost it’s hard to grab him lol.

It doesn't look like Bumble foot to me at all...and what's with the oil on his feet? I also would would not put cream on his feet, I bet it would burn like crazy if it were not the right cream, this does look a little fungal to me, I'd try rinsing his feet with a fungicide a few times a day for a few days and see what happens...

I would soak once per day and wrap... I totally understand the catching problem!!

Do you often put oil on his legs?
I too think it looks like fungal or bacterial.
Is he irritating his feet/legs somehow? Look for causes.
I would first try a fungicide or fungal cream for a few days. If that doesn’t show improvement, it might not be fungal, then try something that’s a bacterial cream.
Quit the oil, it may the problem.

I would first try a fungicide or fungal cream for a couple of days. If that doesn’t work, try something that’s a bacterial cream.

I put the oil on his feet once before this about 3 weeks ago, because I thought he might have scaly leg mites, per some users on this site.
So I tried to suffocate them with the oil. So this was the second time I put it on.

Do you have a recommended fungicide I can try?

thanks!

Someone on this site previously mentioned he may have scaly leg mites, so I put oil on twice to try and drown them.

do you have a fungicide you recommend to try?

thank you!
