My hen, Pippy, has a minor case of bumblefoot on each foot. (stage 2 i think) This morning, I soaked both feet and epsoms salt and was unable to get either of the scabs off. I dressed the wounds and wrapped both, but I came back down to see that one of the wraps had fallen off 1 hour later. It recently rained, so the ground is fairly wet. Should I isolate her inside of the coop in a cage, but still let her be with the others and roost at night? Or should I leave her alone?
 
You should separate her to a kennel on the floor of the coop, so she's separated, but can still be around everyone. Keep her bedding as clean as possible, even if it means going out several times a day to scoop her poop out.

What are you using for a wrap? I used Vetrap 3m, and it stayed on a couple of toes, though not all. It might be better than what you're using?
