Swollen feet

[royave]

Hello everyone, I have a Faverall chicken that has swollen feet for a while now. I have tried to soak them in epsom salt but it didnt seem to help. Now they look swollen and bruised with some small growths. She doesnt seem to be eating very much I think she is not feeling well. What can be done???

How long have her feet been swollen for? Can you get pictures of the her feet particularly the bottom? Are the grows by any chances black scabs?

Does she have heavily feathered feet? My two favarolle roos do and it can be painful and cause swelling during a molt. But definitely post photos so we can better help.

Please post some pictures of the feet and legs. What have you been feeding your chickens?

That looks like bumblefoot which is an infection in the foot pad. Soak the feet in a pan of warm soapy water for 15-20 minutes. A tub or sink works well so they can’t get out. Then disinfect the foot and try to remove the small scab, and squeeze out any solid core of pus that has collected. Then use some antibiotic ointment on the foot, and put a bandage in the foot for several days. This link has a picture of the type of bandage at the bottom of the page:
