Crowing
Well, I finally found out why I have such a problem with bumble foot here.
Spoke to a vet yesterday (I finally found one that will talk about chickens) and found out that the grasses that have spears when seeding tend to have barbs on the seeds, and they will work their way into a chicken foot.
... I live in cow country. Hay and wheat are kind of a big deal here. Also explains why only one breed of chicken seems to have this problem.
I'm claiming this as my birthday present.
My birds are all getting a bunch of hard boiled eggs later, as the temperature is dropping by about 10⁰ overall.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm rather worried about one of my cats. He's lost a bunch of weight and keeps wheezing. He's going to the vet today. Wish me luck!
