Second opinion of Bumblefoot

[paradisepentacoop]

Aloha all,
I have a year old Olive egger who has been limping around for about two weeks. Today I snagged her to take a look at her feet. I'm almost certain she has Bumblefoot, but I wanted to get confirmation before I try any at home treatment. There are no poultry vets where I live, though I will be contacting farm supply stores to see if they know something I don't.

Looks like Bumblefoot to me. Since she's limping, you'll want to address it.

I would suggest using a Non-Surgical approach.

Yes that's bumblefoot, and I usually opt to soak in epsom salt and then remove the plug, unless it's very small.

Excellent source, thank you. I will try this once I can get a small area set aside for her to be separated from the rest of the flock. I will update with progress.
