Rooster's feet

[MarlaMac]

Good morning.

My rooster's right foot looks big and puffy.

It has been this way for a few months. We kept checking for bumble, but there is never any lesions.

Does this look like the beginning of gout?

My chickens free range the entire day.

They are feed Kalmbach non GMO flock maker. 2x a week they get some of the girl's bounty. I cook four eggs splash them with olive oil, and add probiotics. Then, whatever bugs/plants they find while they free range.

They also get some sort of melon (usually watermelon) on really hot days (+90 degrees). On those hot days, I also trickle water in the shadow of the coop for them to stand in before going to roost.

I do not add anything to their water. The water is RO water.

Any thoughts are appreciated.


Thank you.

Edit: the four eggs. 2x weekly are shared among the 21 of them. 1 rooster, 1 cockerel (needs a home of his own), 13 layers and six 13 week pullets.
