There are good bumblefoot articles/threads on BYC. As long as the foot is not swollen bumble is easy to treat at home. Swollen/abscessed I would go to a vet at that stage.View attachment 3952069
Thirsty Thursday, Mr silly stripes.
My 3 new hens should be ready next week too. The fibro egger has bumblefoot, the lady has treated it once but thinks it's coming back. Should I still get her?
The chicken lady I met yesterday says she can come help me treat it if I need help.
And I will be getting either 6 or 7 cockerels to eat, she thinks one of them might be a pullet.
We've treated easy cases at home but kept the hen indoors until totally healed. It's time-consuming to treat at home & easy cases the vet will just send you home to do it yourself anyway.
