    Stiff toe?

    I feel as if this roosters causing me more medical scares then anything. See this rooster he's a big guy. I honestly couldn't tell you what type he is. But he's big maybe like 8 or 9 pounds of just bulk. He's always limped I've noticed since keeping him out. Even as a chick he's never been...

    Hi All, I have an Orpington hen who has been acting a bit off the last few days. We are unsure of her age, as we inherited her when we purchased our house. She is at least 6 years old. She has been withdrawn and not eating as she usually would. I picked her up a few weeks ago and she was her...

    Is this bumble healing?

    Warning - I've kept the thumbnails small because the wounds are quite gross. One of our girls (2 yr old Orpington blue), had a bumble we thought we took out pretty well. But two weeks later the black plug came back larger, so we soaked for a few days and took it out again and it looked like...

    Bumble foot cured with homeopathy

    I just wanted to share my joy in curing my hen with bumble foot using homeopathy. I wish I had thought to photo document it. We just had our second experience with bumble foot. The first hen we had with it, sadly had to be euthanized. I was super worried when I saw it in my young layer...

    To ointment or not to ointment?

    I recently bought a gorgeous young celadon quail who came with what looked like a bad case of bumblefoot. I tended the wound a couple nights ago by peeling off the scab, soaking and rinsing with epsom salt water, and finishing with over-the-counter antibiotic ointment. I'm keeping her in the...

    Does bumblefoot cause a pause in egg laying? And some bumblefoot advice too?

    My 10 month old Buff Orpington caused me concern that she is not laying eggs, it's been 5 DAYS--yikes. I considered that she might be decreasing eggs due to the shorter days. She was not showing the signature signs of being eggbound, no funny walk, no squatting, and no decreased appetite. In...

    Hey all, I’m a new chicken owner and one of my ladies started getting a noticeable lump on top of her foot a few weeks ago. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all. She is still running and digging around. The swelling is also only on the top of her foot and I haven’t seen any sort of scab yet...

    I regrettably don’t have any photos but here’s what I’m dealing with. Two LF hens with what looks like a classic case of bumblefoot. I didn’t notice any limping, but I did a quick exam and took action as soon as I saw the bumblefoot. No swelling, but pretty good size black callous/scab on both...

    One of my Anconas has lumps on the balls of both her feet. Here is a picture of the worst one. Today, I put her in an Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes, and sprayed blu-kote on her feet. I don't have any duck shoes for her. I plan to do the same every morning and afternoon until she heals. Is...

    We live in the desert and my poor chicken has these awful cracked feet. Our environment is a mix of dirt/sand with various desert weeds and they have regular outside grazing time whenever my husband or I is home.

    I have two hens that show signs on their feet that looks similar to bumble foot, however neither of them are limping or showing any discomfort from their feet. I have never dealt with bumblefoot before but have done some research on what you’re supposed to do to treat it but what to make sure...
