I've posted before about my ~1 year old GLD who had severe bumble foot on the bottoms of both feet a few months back. She had surgery, and had since healed beautifully. Sadly, the last few days we've been getting abnormally torrential rains and it's been next to impossible to keep her run dry...
Hi all,
Our poor 1 year old GLD just bounced back from a pretty severe case of tandem bumblefoot (bottom of both feet. After surgery and with lots of R&R she bounced back beautifully. Of course, upon being back outside for her first few weeks she ended up scraping the tops of both feet pretty...
Has anyone had issues with their free range chickens when it comes to grass stickers/burrs/goat heads? I live in Texas and every yard has some sort of sticker down here. I haven’t allowed my chickens out their run yet because I’m concerned that they’ll get hurt walking in the grass. Has anyone...
Hello there :)
I am a mother of 2 Emotional support House Silkies.

I have them on Newspaper right now and ofcourse as chickens do they poop and step in it a lot.

Hello! My >1 year old female pekin duck hurt her leg last week when she got tangled in some briars. I tended to her wounds day-of and they seem to be healing nicely, but one week later and she still won't put weight on it and it sits out to the side. The toes are very swollen and she refuses to...
First let me say I’m grateful for this web site and all the wonderful wisdom you all dispense! :-)
My 2.5 year old Rhode Island Red has had swollen ankles and feet for the past 2.5 months. She is eating and drinking great, no bluish crown or color. Her feet just keep getting bigger and bigger...
About a week ago, right after temperatures plummeted from 70 to 40 F (Halloween T-Storm), I saw my oldest Orpington's feet turn red on the sides and fleshy parts. They weren't red before. She also has a raised bump in-between two of her toes, one on each foot. The one on her left foot has had a...
We have been keeping quail for just short of a year. They live on the ground with a board to prevent rats and “easy chick” bedding. Some time ago, early July we noticed one of the smallest quail (we only have 6) had a swollen foot. By mid-July we were worried enough, because she limps a lot, to...
Hello,
I have a hen who I found today had some lumps all over her legs. I’m pretty sure it’s not bumblefoot, since it’s on the leg itself, so I was curious of what it is. Hen is currently in molt and is older (4). I haven’t seen anything like hers before and google images weren’t helpful. It’s...
Hi,
There's this bump/lump under one of my Roosters feet,
He has to hop to run and walk. This is preventing him flying up in the tree to roost. He's 4 years old (human years).
Can anything help it go away? It's only on 1 of his feet.

Hi there,
I've recently seen my Rooster (his name is Flame) hopping anytime he runs and walks?
I thought he was hopping over spores (weapons)?
Until I saw this swollen flesh under his 1 of his feet?
He's a free ranging fowl. Actually all my chickens are. They go anywhere they want. He sleeps in...
Another question about my Sultan's feet. I just adopted her, from a "show" situation where it seems she wasn't allowed to scratch or actually be on the ground. I think she must have been caged full time. So i've been trying to take care of her nails, and I noticed that her feet look...
So I got this hen from a guy at my local livestock auction. He was trying to get rid of these ladies and so I took some.
Later when I got home, I noticed one of the hens had what looked like bumblefoot.. but it went all the way through her foot??
When my other hens had bumblefoot and I...
Our rooster Elvis is about 2 years old now and since he’s a bantam, he has weird feet. He seemed to have sometimes had a limp when he walks but it never stopped him from getting around. We noticed that one of his toes is all swollen with a weird scab on the bottom. (See photos). As you can see...

8 year old Black Sex Link. She’s always had gnarly feet but lately her left one is noticeably larger. She isn’t limping or acting like it hurts. I’m thinking the dark spots on the bottom are maybe bumblefoot? There’s also a bump on the side that looks like a cyst or something. Any help is...
Hello,
I have an elderly (around 7-8 year old) red sex-link hen, and for the last couple of years her feet and ankles have become more and more swollen. I don’t believe it’s bumblefoot, because there are no wounds or cores on the pads of her feet. Her foot pads, ankles, and toes are just...
Hello all, my precious ducky Pearl started limping this morning and upon looking at her feet I discovered these spots/scrapes on both the top and bottom of her right foot, the limping is not severe, but she has been laying down more than usual and she’s definitely wanting to avoid using that...
