I was out with my chickens and I noticed this sore on my chickens foot. Any idea what it is and what I should do? This is my first time dealing with something like this.
Hello BYC community!! I’m struggling with my chickens. We have 28 chickens and 3 ducks. We clean the coop regularly, have soft bedding, railings for them to get up and down from the roosts and even cleaned out rocks/sticks/debris from the yard. Our birds get bumblefoot roughly every 3 or 4...
I'm treating a hen for bumblefoot. A kernel was removed last night from the bottom of her foot (pic below). She still has this swelling on top of her foot today. It is a little warm. Does this normally resolve, or will I need to lance the top of her foot as well?
Poor Tippy can’t catch a break.. first a rat chewed her foot as a baby so she is missing a couple toes, and now she has a bumble on that same foot.

My question is: Is this thing actually healing...
Hey all, I’m a new backyard quail owner with 10 Pharaoh chicks. This morning, noticed this 5 wk male with a blue foot and blue upper leg. Not sure if bumble foot, a break, or something else. Gave him a warm bath and dried him off, but not sure what to do next. Thank you in advance!
Aloha all,
I have a year old Olive egger who has been limping around for about two weeks. Today I snagged her to take a look at her feet. I'm almost certain she has Bumblefoot, but I wanted to get confirmation before I try any at home treatment. There are no poultry vets where I live, though I...
Hi all.
This is a lady from my very first flock. She’s 8 weeks old. They’ve been in their outdoor run/coop for a week or so. They stay in the run (w/ access to coop during the day) + get to free range when I’m home.
Yesterday I let them out of the run and she was fine as far as I know. They...
Hello all! I noticed my 2 year old girl has bumblefoot around stage 3-4. It seemed to come out of the blue! I’ve read various articles about treatment and began epsom bath soaks the last 2 days and put a bandage with prid on today to see if I can loosen it up and pull it out in a few days of...
One of my chicks has bumps on their feet like it's a bit swollen. They're walking just fine and when I press on it, it doesn't seem to hurt. I've never seen anything like this and none of the other chicks have it as far as I can tell. Is it bumblefoot or something else? What's the best way to...
I have an almost 5 year old hen with vent fleet and bumble foot. She constantly has gurgly sounds coming from her belly. I don’t think she’s laid an egg in four months or more. At night she pants (it’s like 60 degrees) and blinks super slowly (maybe she’s just tired) like she’s dying, but in the...
Should this be a warning sign to something? I have a 4 year old Easter Egger that has these red spots on the bottom of a couple of her toes. Is this the beginning of bumblefoot or something else? Should I treat it or leave it and see if it works itself out?
About 5 months ago we had to put...
I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent.
Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...
Hello I am new to the community and I don’t really have any experience with ducks, I have read on some other forums about bumble foot and slipped tendons and a whole lot of other things, there is no duck vet within 30 miles of my house, any help would be much appreciated!
Hi all, I’m wanting to make some boots for my tiny pekin. She’s getting over a severe case of scaly leg & bumblefoot (I got her with these conditions last week).
I’ve found the little chicken booties online but no one in my country sells or makes them. I could buy them from overseas, but the...
My hen is almost one year old and she has a swollen lump between her toes. After researching online, I was certain she had bumble foot…so I posted to Reddit for guidance on the back yard chickens subreddit. I was told by redditors that they were unsure If this was bumble foot and to post my...
my chickens foot has been swollen for 3 months now. it was swollen on just her foot and we cut into it and meaty blood came out. there has been no scab to sign that its bumlefoot. its just a blood pus filled foot and leg. i feel like if it was bumblefoot it would have killed her by now. we...

I’ve got a Sussex mix called raven (the fat black one) and a isa brown mix called peanutbutter (the less fat brown one) that we hatched at home from our other choocks eggs. They are both are about 2 years old now. I noticed the bumble foot and swollen abdomen when I was treating for mites...
