Hello,
I was treating one of my ladies, Miss Green (1 year old and leader of the pack) for bumble-foot. I noticed it on Saturday, looked up how-to videos on YT and went to work on treating it.
It’s coming along well, but the second day I treated her (Sunday) while I was treating it, I noticed she had a sore on her comb.
My husband looked it up and he said it was bumble-foot on the comb so I soaked it with iodine on a cotton ball.
I wrapped up her foot, let her back in with the other ladies and did my thing.
I also treated her Monday after work.
Today I came home from biz trip and went to clean the bumble-foot and saw a couple more of these lumps on her comb.
My chicks have always lived in a clean environment, I clean the coop every single day, I have no idea where they got this from.
I also noticed this afternoon two other ladies have small dark spots on their combs, too.
The bumble-foot I surmise is from when my husband used the grinder on the hardware cloth to fix a spot on the coop, a shard of metal must’ve fell and guessing that’s where Miss Green got hurt, she walked around in poop and contracted the BF.
Here are pics of her comb. I appreciate your answers!
