    Recurring Bumblefoot? Early stages? (Photos)

    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...

    Injured Feet - Bandages? Leg Mites? Ideas?

    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...

    Stickers!

    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.

    Foot Problems

    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...

    Foot problem with little quail... please help!!

    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.

    Large lumps all over hens legs

    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...

    is this bumblefoot?

    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...

    Big, swollen foot

    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...

    What’s Wrong With My Elderly Hen’s Feet?

    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...
