I made a thread for my gander, and posted pictures. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1083583/i-think-my-goose-has-bumblefoot

Good pictures. I really think he has the start of it. I would just treat both feet at once, so he isn't away from his mate so long.

My,goose embryo has grown a whole lot

Congrats.

Yeah I think so too. Since I wasn't sure what to do, today we just soaked his feet, then put coconut oil on. Would Chlorhexadine work well for his feet?
