Whats wrong with my old hens!

[Sophia Pincheon]

I have 2 coming on 6 year old hens who have not been doing well lately, one is a a bantam of some sort and the other is a cochin, who has sore feet looks almost like a pressure sore, she has had thining feathers. For a little bit the other also has sores on the bottom of her feet to were she does not like walking around and I have picked up wound sprays and mite spray for there feet in hope to help but have not seen much improvement, any advice is helpful

Do you have any close up pictures of the sore feet and foot pads? it sounds like possible bumblefoot. Is there any scaly leg mites? Is the one in the picture molting? Have you checked for any body mites or lice moving about on the skin? Here is some reading:

No real good pics no moving mites or lice, I thought leg mites but no improvement with the sprays. The picture is not the hen molting, her feathers are splitting and thining no growth.

No moving mites or lice thank you for the readings, don't have good pictures right now but definitely looking like bumblefoot

If it is Bumblefoot, your local chicken vet will most likely prescribe antibiotics.

Her feather condition points to a possible nutritional deficiency. And since they both appear to have bumblefoot, I would being looking for potential problems in your coop.

1. What is their diet? Please list their normal feed, treats, and supplements and how often they get each.
2. Have you dewormed them recently?
3. Do you have soft bedding under the roosts?
4. What are the roosts made of?
5. How high are the roosts off the floor?
