Try the sugardine, I linked to my post. It really does work. I know it's not the traditional treatment, but I have had very good success with it, particularly with really stubborn ones. It's not expensive, and not complicated, and nothing will be lost by trying. Pack the foot, as much as you...

I think the only way to confirm osteomyelitis would be with x rays and cultures. Symptoms would be similar to severe bumblefoot, lameness, lethargy, not eating etc. Like many, I don't have access to a vet that will see chickens, and probably wouldn't be able to spend that kind of $$ if I did...
