Well dang, Cynthia, I've not had a chance to get back here til now, and thanks to this stupid phone typing whatever it decides half the time, I honestly have no idea what I meant? I looked back to see your post, but couldn't find it. Didn't you show a pic of one of your chickens'feet where it looked like you had removed the knot from the bumblefoot, and was showing how well it was healing? That little quail of mine has knots on the bottom of both her feet. I kind of picked the dry area off, but of course it didn't help. She is still hobbling around in the pen, but I can see how difficult it is for her. I think I may have intended to ask you how you got rid of it on your chicken's foot. Did you cut it off? I don't want to put her through more pain by doing the wrong thing. We have enough eggs now to incubate, so I'm thinking maybe I should just process her and get her out of her misery now. As soon as I get this incubation process over to see how many quail we get, if it's a good count, which it usually is, I'm going to process all my older ones anyway, and start fresh. I need a new bloodline, so I'll buy new males later depending on the number of females we end up with, and process the new males from our incubation as they will all be related and we've bred within the same line for quite a while now. I personally don't feel it's a good idea to do that too often- inbreeding like that.I know I can find articles on how to fix bumblefoot, but I wanted to ask you, bc it looked like a clean and surgically removed wound on your chicken. I am so busy that under the circumstances I just don't have time to be soaking feet for days on a bumblefoot wound and doing a lot of "doctoring" on a quail. If it was one of my chickens, that would be a totally different story. Thanks for any help you can offer
