Wow!
I think I'm going to give this a try!

Next question...
You recommended a product a little while ago to put in their runs to help prevent the spread of the bumblefoot. Do you think spraying down the runs with an antiseptic would do anything?

I am under the impression bumble foot is more an injury than a "communicable" disease. I've been fortunate KNOCKING ON WOOD not to have had a bird develop it. I don't think you want to kill off all the bacteria in the run, a lot of it is good.

I picked the site for the coop i will be building.

I am working on clearing it out today.

Careful, DH won't know he is at the right house when he returns if you do too much!

Hey @ronott1 I've got a few questions for you.... or anyone for that matter...
I've got a roo with bumblefoot who got in a fight with another roo through a fence. So, not only am I having to treat the bumblefoot there's also a partially torn off spur and a toenail down to a nub. I've soaked his feet in warm water with dettol (I don't know if you have that in the US... it's an antiseptic). Worked on the bumblefoot, coated everything in polysporin and wrapped his feet. I wrapped his spur towards his leg. Have I done the right steps? Anything else I should be doing?

Without seeing the spur, it's hard to say, but I'd be inclined to remove it. If it's just hanging there, it may become a constant source of irritation.

Best way to do that?

I built a coop last time he went on vacation. He is used to it.

Is it just hanging there ? If so I would simply clip it off with a pair of shears. Have some styptic pencil on hand to stop the bleeding.

Lol
You crack me up Cap.

Have you got your goats yet? It's been almost a year since you had the shed built.

Sounds good. It's 3/4 off and didn't want to try to rip the rest off as the skin is firmly attached there.

Doesn't have to be the sharpest shears. Something less sharp results in somewhat lessened bleeding.
