Hi All:
I have a chicken with both feet swollen. It doesn't look like gout, at least based on the photos I've seen posted here. It looks more like bumblefeet; however, there is no visible entry point for me to dig into to remove the seed of the infection. The one spot on one foot I thought was an entry point only bled when I poked it but noshing came out. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. One foot is a bit more swollen than the other. I am soaking in Epsom salts. (Sorry I haven't posted in awhile and can't figure out how to upload photos). I'll try again later.
