Hi all,
I've got two silkies around 10 months old and looks like they have started to develop bumble foot, my grey one has one foot affected but bigger scab than on my brown silkie who has a scab on both feet. Photo attached
I went to the vets for my dog today and thought i'd ask about my chickens. They have recommended wash their feet, use malaseb shampoo (1:10ml) and leave it on for 7 minutes, then wash it off. Do this every second day for two weeks.

I've decided to wash their feet in warm water with epson salt before the shampoo.
I'll keep you updated, let me know if if anyone has tried this. Advice is welcomed too.
