I am battling bumblefoot. I am trying to soak the chickens feet in Tricide Neo. I am having a bear of a time trying to keep them still for the 7 mins it take to soak their feet. They keep trying to get away, even with treat bribes. I have even tried to put them in a big rubbermaid bin w/ them standing in a smaller bin w/ the foot soak stuff in it but they manage to tip the smaller bin over.
ANY suggestions greatly appreciated!

I battled it a couple years ago. I found the best way was to sit on the floor with the chicken in your lap. Wear older clothes and place the pail of solution between your crossed legs. Get comfy on the floor. Hold the chicken up against your chest and keep her feet in the pail. Pet her head if you like, my chickens started liking their "pedicures" after a while.

Good luck!
