    Hen not putting weight on one leg/foot.

    I have a hen who is not using one leg. My girl is almost 3 years old. She’s a Buff Orpington. Healthy. Fluffy. Still laying. Seems happy except she won’t put any weight on her right foot/leg and will only use it for balance. (She’s getting fairly good at hopping around!) My first instinct was...

    Duckling/Duck Questions

    Hey, everyone! A few weeks ago, I remember seeing a post that was a list of the foods ducks could eat and at what age they could eat it. I looked and couldn't find it again anywhere. Does anyone know which post I am talking about? And if so, could you please link it? Our silly ducklings are...

    Bumblefoot - Don’t know severity or what to do

    Hi! Ruby has three bumps on her foot. She refuses to use her foot at all and tries to walk with just one foot and spreading out her wing for balance. I don’t know the severity of her bumblefoot. Should I treat just with epsom salt baths, or is it sever enough that I should surgically remove it...

    Fairly new chicken mom. I have 15 girls, they just turned a year old. I noticed the other day that one of them had a slightly swollen foot, so I investigated and realized she had bumblefoot.

    Possible bumblefoot

    I recently posted about a chicken that was limping . I think it’s bumblefoot or some kind of infection , it has seemed to form a scab that I took off as much as I could . I’m scared to really cut into it but it doesn’t ooze pus. It does bleed really well though . I have been doing Epsom soaks...

    Possible bumble foot

    I have a rooster that has started limping , he seems to have a bubble with possibly yellow pus underneath, I’m thinking it’s bumble foot and want to treat it . It’s in a toe not the foot pad . I’ve heard soaking in epsom salt helps and possibly wrapping the foot . What do you guys think ? This...

    My hen has a large round mass in her foot

    For about two weeks now, My hen has had a large swelling in her foot. I'm assuming it's bumble foot, but there is no visible scab. The swelling is also visible on top of her foot. She walks around holding that foot up. Laying eggs fine, eating and drinking as well.

    Grangrene in quail?

    one of my hens has had bumblefoot for several months and the treatment isnt working and now it looks like the foot is dying and she is walking on one foot. Is it too late for antibiotics or will i need to amputate/euthanize.

    Bumblefoot surgery necessary?

    I’ve attached a photo of bumblefoot I discovered today. I’ve never had a chicken with bumblefoot before, so I’m uncertain how to tell if I will need to remove it with a scalpel, or if soaking and wrapping daily will allow it to heal.

    What is this on hen’s foot?

    She is a 5 year old lavender orpington. She has some other health issues, but is doing ok. This has been on her foot for about 4-5 months. She will limp for a while then be fine for weeks. It has never spread or changed. No other chickens have foot issues. I’d love anyone’s help, but I am going...

    Really advanced bumblefoot?

    Hi there, I've been staying at a farm for about three weeks that has a small flock of ducks for eggs (khaki campbells, runners, and Welsh harlequins). As soon as I got here I noticed that one had a pretty large abscess or bumble or something on the top of her foot. She's not limping, but she...

    Bumblefoot

    Hi everyone, 2 days ago I spotted that one of my barter browns toes were bent. Im sure this is new as Im almost positive I would have spotted it earlier if it was already there. Yesterday I saw a bubble on top of her foot. I am assuming she has bumblefoot. This would be my first time dealing...
