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...
Hey there!
I just hatched from an incubator, and 7/8 out of 12 made it!
I have one runt, and he has an injured foot. It looks like one of the toes is cut pretty badly and the other chicks have been bullying him as well.
He’s 1 day old, and I wasn’t sure what to do, so I rinsed the foot off in...
4 months old rooster, otherwise healthy. He's not putting weight on his left leg for this past week. Once in a while he'll put his left toes down, but always keep that heel off the ground. Anything noticeable in the pics? Thank you!!

Our almost one year old Austra White (named Lumos) was observed sitting down a lot today so after checking her out, I found a large clump of dirt/poop dried onto a wound on the bottom of her foot. I soaked her feet in a warm epsom salt bath, slowly rubbed the dirt clump off, and observed a large...
Hey everyone, just wanted some assistance please. I have a new D’uccle rooster but he has been only using one foot from day one. No sign of bumble or any infection I don’t think foot is nice and clean. But at the base of one of the foot feathers that’s still in its casing there is a black growth...
My Wyandotte chicken has recently started limping, and it seems to be getting a little worse. It is her right leg, and if she is standing still she will hold her leg up, or just lay down. It does not seem to be Bumblefoot, but I have attached a picture of her foot. I will also post the link to...

Is this Bumble foot? There is no scab like the photos of bumble foot online- maybe it is an early case? Any advice welcomed! Thank you.
The hen is fine other than limping.
The baby call duck just hatched today a day later than all the rest and I noticed there is something off with it's foot/ leg? I need help and advice my first time with hatching ducklings.
My one and a half year old rooster has a bleeding foot, and I’m unsure about whether it’s coming from the spur or a wound on the leg itself. He lives in a spacious coop with 5 hens, and acts/looks completely normal and healthy. However, his feet do bleed pretty often (around once every 2 months...
Male call duck hops around on one foot while his other is curled up. His eyes are also watering, making his face crusty.
It started a week ago and at first, I thought it was bumblefoot but now I'm not so sure. I've been soaking his foot in salt water every day for the past week and it hasn't...
Today I noticed some strange growths on one of my roosters feet. At first I thought it was caked on mud but when I tugged on them it started bleeding. I thought maybe it was bumble foot but I've never seen bumblefoot that looked like this. Any idea what it is?
Anyone ever run across anything like this? Looking for recommendations how to treat this curled toenail/swelling (left foot, back toe). How to know how much toenail to cut off?
My male guinea started limping recently and his legs started shaking, getting worse quickly. When i checked his feet, i noticed these big black scabbish things in his toes. My first thought was bumblefoot, but after soaking in very warm water with epsom salts for at least twenty minutes and...
Hi there! We have some chickens that will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, Lord’s Willing! Sadly, a raccoon got into the pen a few nights back and got one of them :hit
Praise The Lord, the others all seemed okay, but we noticed one laying down more than others. She (he) is still eating and drinking...
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...
I have a chick that hatched a few days ago that can’t seem to walk properly. He has one leg toward the front and one toward the back and his foot to the front is larger and seems to be full of fluid. He doesn’t open his foot either, it stays closed like he is being held all the time. He’s been...
Hi. I have recently bought 3 Muscovy ducklings about 10 days ago.
(I also have 2 chickens and have had more of both in the past.)
The situation:
The ducklings are roughly 4, 6 & 8 weeks old. The oldest is also significantly larger, so I suspect it is a drake.
The oldest has some sort of foot...
My 1.5 year old SLW hen is limping and not putting much weight in that foot while on the roost bar. We’ve brought her in and soaked it in Epsom salts 2 nights in a row. Tonight she did not want to put that foot into the water. We’ve also used gauze to put chlorohexidine on it to clean. The pads...
Hello to all of you chicken enthusiast !
I was hoping my first post on this forum would be something more positive, but I have a bit of a problem with one of my hens.
I try not to pick the chickens up too often because I don't like to create stressful situations for them. I moved my flock to a...
