HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- How to treat bumblefoot in chickens and poultry. We go over all supplies needed, the steps to be taken prior to the removal of the scab, core, abscess or kernel. Then how to remove the infection, followed by the aftercare that follows to keep the wound clean.
-Bumblefoot is a staph infection or Plantar Pododermatitis caused by staphylococcus bacteria getting into a cut, splinter or injury to a chickens foot. It is characterized by a black scab and swelling, in more severe cases there can be lameness or the chicken can limp or have the inability to walk. Very mild cases the bird can heal on their own with their natural immune system. If swelling or limping is noticed treatment is needed before the infection spreads and can go to the bone and possibly kill your chicken.
-Consult your local Veterinarian if possible, but if that is not an option for you here is how to easily cure your chicken's Bumblefoot at home with this non-surgical method that has no scalpel involved using PRID Drawing Salve. More severe cases will need treatment with antibiotics like Penicillin or Amoxicillin prescribed.

Hi do you need to do an epson salt soak everyday before the drawing salve? Or just the first day?
Also does a black or grey scan always mean it’s turned into bumblefoot?
I’m so grateful for all your videos! I can’t afford vets so your information has been so helpful!
I absolutely loved this video and found it very helpful! My only critique is that I would recommend against using the hydrogen peroxide during the healing process. Hydrogen peroxide destroys both healthy and sick cells, which actually slows the healing process rather than speeding it up. It could potentially make the open wound more susceptible to reinfection too since it kills immune cells as well, but I am not 100% sure about that part. Otherwise, this was a super great video and very educational and easy to follow just like many of your other videos I have seen. Thank you for sharing your chicken knowledge, it is very much appreciated!
Why are you recording these videos in your underwear?
What if there is no scab on the chickens foot and her foot is swollen.
Just some additional info for anyone reading, I’ve used a very similar method in the video for troublesome cases but over time, I’ve come to have good luck just spraying the scabs with vetericyn or sometimes blukote regularly and letting them be. In my scenario, they’ve usually resolved on their own. My whole flock got bumbles from digging around in the blackberry bushes so I bought some Ropa poultry oregano solution. That alone in their water seemed to clear everyone up, except for one lil leghorn. She has a really resistant case. I did the soaks, antibiotic topicals, Prid, wraps & the swelling/infection wasn’t reducing. I was worried it would get like some of the images I’ve seen online or that her joints would suffer damage. So, instead of waiting for the healthy skin to push the infection out, I tried to gently manipulate it out first sign of the scab lifting & loosening. What happened was, not only was their no sign of the plug (only a superficial scab came off) but part of the inside of her foot pulled out with it. So she had tissue hanging out of her foot. I had to search all over for a vet that sees poultry to cut the tissue off- that was not something I was willing to go digging around in or try remove myself, for a number of reasons- and we ended up getting an antibiotic. Hope this helps someone & their chicken out. Don’t rush the process if you can help it. I had no idea that what happened was even a possibility. We’re still working on those bumbles, so wish us luck.
So you would just spray the area with veterycin and not soak with epsom or anything else? My little lady seems to have one forming on top of her foot, in between claws so spraying seems like it should be fairly easy...it also does not have a scab formed yet...
Hope your girls feeling better! You hit the nail on the head that most resolve themselves with vetricyn or blukote. Sorry that happened to you with the live tissue, what a nightmare. When we attempted the scab was already coming off on its own. But yes we’ve noticed most chickens feet never turn into bumblefoot if caught early or their natural immune system can handle it. Penicillin and amoxicillin are good antibiotics to use if you have a case that needs more aggressive treatment
I would be curious to know why digging around in a blackberry bush specifically would do that? I am not being sarcastic I really don't know is there something about the bush itself that would make it the chicken more susceptible?
@@BJETNT probably because blackberry bushes have thorns. If it cut their feet and cause a cut, they could get an infection. That's my guess.
@@BockBockBouquet How do you get Penicillin or Amoxicillin? We are having such a hard time getting rid of our chickens’ bumble foot. It’s a nightmare! We are going to try the drawing salve and hope that brings the bumble to the top!
That hen is being such a champ!
She’s such a good girl ❤️
@@BockBockBouquet hey ty for info , read my comment from 8/18/24 please & ty & can anything mimic bumblefoot ? One person on here just sprays with that veter antibiotic spray & cures bumble foot. My girl has the black spot tiny bottom of both feet but one foot swelling minor only between 2 toes with black scab up there ! I already opened it up 7 days ago. Got out puss & white stuff & i think kernel. then i did epsom salt soak.. and have 3 more times. Should there still be min swelling 7 days later? she has never limped & runs fast lol Do I need to open the black dots on each paw /bottom of foot? Or just top where big scab is? i removed that & used neo , spray & wrapped . Have cleaned & wrapped each day with spray & neosporin but today just soaked in epsom & neo. I love how u used the pop cicle sticks!!! I have 19 in my flock. this hen is calico polish hen. Most of my flock are silkie cochin cross & silkies. plus some big girls. & 5 roosters with some hens & I free range daily twice a day with guardian dog.
That's the best-behaved bock bock I think I've ever seen!
Thank you so much for all the helpful info. We were successful in removing our first scab/seed tonight after 3 weeks of following your routine. Our family and chickies really appreciate you for making this tutorial.
Just so everyone knows, hydrogen peroxide actually eats raw tissue. So using it on open wounds regularly will cause slower healing and cause make things worse sometimes. I found out from a DR when I had a similar size hole from a surgery. It wouldn't heal for weeks. Went to a different doctor who told me it was because (I thought i was doing a good thing) was cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide 3%. That used alone eats raw tissue 😮
This is a great video! And kudos to you both for mentioning that it is a real staph infection and super contagious. Most people don't know that.
Great point. I watched a wildlife life rescue video once of a severely injured bird and I’ve always remembered the lady saying, you can use it for an initial flush of a wound but no more after that, for the exact reason you mentioned.
O.R. RN here...3 use 3% H2O2 (NO stronger) for initial cleaning. Then you can dilute it 50/50 with cooled boiled water. After the wound is cleaned, switch to a spray like vetrycin.
So calm! Hen was fully relaxed with you. GREAT tip about blue tape and avoiding red! Thank you.
Thank you! Hope this video was of any help!
Your chickens are very lucky to have a person like you that cares enough about them to take care of them. Great video!!!
I just discovered you tonight now I'm binge watching your videos! I do not have a vet in my town who knows how to fix chickens so I'm trying to teach myself. Please keep on posting videos on how to fix these wounds, diseases, broken legs, etc. The more details on the process, how much medication you used, etc is very helpful
I just watched your video on a chicken first aid kit and I plan on buying alot of that stuff through your affiliate links so that you can keep on making these videos.
Aw thanks so much! Welcome to our channel ❤️ it’s always so good to be prepared and to always be learning and educating ourselves so we can be prepared when an emergency strikes. There are not many Vets out there who see poultry and sadly some parts of the world think of them as a disposable animal when they are actually beloved pets to many. We are trying to keep posting videos pertaining to the medical side of chickens, we have a few coming out very soon
I just got 2 hens that were kept in a crowded stock trailer. Both the floor and their feet were caked with manure. One hen has a large bumble and several small black scabs across her toes. Thanks to your video, I got the main abscess to drain yesterday. I am an over-thinker by nature and you answered all of the questions in my pointy brain - Thanks so much!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It’s very helpful. New chicken mom, and first bumblefoot case happening right now.
Good luck with your chickens bumblefoot. The PRID works really well. We have used again recently on a friends hen and a big kernal came out very easily with no scalpel needed
I just treated a chicken of mines with an early onset of bumblefoot. I was lucky to catch it early enough for it to heal within a week of treatment. I'd clean her first and soak it in an epsom salt bath, then I made an herbal salve using oregano, thyme, lavender, rosemary paste with tea tree oil and coconut oil. Then I'd bandage it up. I did this 2x a day for 7 days and inspected her foot and its smooth again.
Thank you. It was explained very well. And I am glad there is a non surgical solution
Ok Ms Kelly, thank you! We’ve got our first flock & first case of bumblefoot. This video has been so very helpful! Tonight she got up on the roost with her sisters and is walking soo much better! I can’t thank you enough girl ❤
Just binge watching your chicken channel, I ❤️ the enthusiasm, the love the two of you show to your feathery ladies, the two of you have taught me more about caring for chickens 🐔 than most of all the chicken channels I have watched, I am looking towards the day I can afford to get me a coop and raise my little chicks,
Aw thanks so much!!! Welcome to our channel ❤️
@@BockBockBouquet I sold my house in the city, and moved out to the country, I bought a House with a 1/2 acre of land with the 🏠, I have two backyards, one is fenced in for the dogs to roam around in, the rest is behind that, I have plenty of back, backyard to grow my flock of chickens in, love all of your knowledge and wisdom you teach through out your videos, be blessed and highly favored in the eyes of our almighty God
I love the little sounds chickens make. Great video.
😊 us too. Thank you!
Twenty minute soak daily. "as long as you can stand" - silliness!
Thanks! You are absolutely excellent. The level of detail you gave is so important and appreciated.
The first time I watched this video all my chickens were fine and I used it to educate myself before anything happened. I watched it today again because one of my chicken says a really bad case. I'll be rewatching this a few more times over the next few weeks to make sure I do it right. Thank you so much.❤
This was really helpful because I have always been worried about my hens getting bumble foot do this is good to know!🐔🐓
Thank you! We find it’s not very common just keep the yard clean of poop and muddy moist areas. Also make sure they can’t get splinters from wooden roost bars and sharp objects are not in the yard to decrease probability of cuts or splinters
Super job explaining the cause and cure! You guys are so amazing!
Aw thanks so much! ❤️
Another two thumbs up video....Great teaching moment about chickens and keeping them healthy by this very knowledgeable couple.
Your videos are so helpful, amazing, and awesome! I've had chickens for 2 years now and anytime they get sick your videos are my go to, the first channel I click on the simple way you explain everything and how loving and gentle and kind you are to your babies and your very knowledgeable and thanks to God and your helpful videos my chickens get better I really love my babies💕💖💕😊. I just really appreciate you and taking the time to explain and show us how to care for chickens. Thank you so very much we really appreciate you and all your videos. God bless you greatly Sweetie and everything you do! 😊😊😊
Thank you so much!! We are so happy to help, I hope your babies are doing better! We love them and they become part of the family. Thanks so much for the kind words ❤️
@@BockBockBouquet 💖💖💖
This was so good to watch, thank you! I’m a first time chicken dad and one of my bbs has a scab,,, really thankful for your informative and assuring video. Thanks!
Glad we can help, we posted a new video with a better close up shot of the extraction and some more details I’ll link right here
ruclips.net/video/Fcu923LK59U/видео.html
Best and cleanest I've seen on youtube
You did a great job young lady I'm proud of you
You guys are my one stop chicken shop!!! No need to go any where else
I just found you and already have learned a ton. My little guy has bumble foot and I started with soaking in epsom salts and the spray. I have removed him to recover. Thanks for the help. 14:55
I’ve ordered the salve. Thanks again
She is a beautiful girl. Beautiful to see how you both care for your girl.
Thank you she’s is a sweet hen, we love all our birds very much ❤️
Thank you! My chicken-Itza is dealing with bumblefoot, and this is the first time I have encountered it. I have been dreading this day, but you make it look so manageable! I really appreciate this!
You did a wonderful job, the little chicken is so trusting and calm.
I have performed 3 operations on my Duck for Bumblefoot and it is because Staph stays in there unless you remove it ALL. It is it is a pale cream colour, stringy and nasty and if you don't get it all the first time then it will reoccur. Once the 3rd one was done I packed it full of Bactroban and wrapped her foot for 2 weeks and when I removed the wrap it was healed perfectly.
My supplies: Betadine iodine, Antibacterial wipes, Surgical scissors, Scalpel, Melonin gauze pad, self adhesive wrap, Medical tape, safety glasses.
Thank you for being so caring to chickens ❤
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I have been dealing with a nasty case of bumblefoot on one of my chickens. I watched a ton of videos and started treating right away by trying to cut out the infection from multiple places like others recommended. Unfortunately, it did not clear up the infection AND put my sweet bird through undo pain and stress. Since it wasn’t clearing I continued with more research and found your video. I ordered PRID right away and got to work the next day. I could see clear progress after just 3 days of the PRID treatment. I was cleaning and redressing her feet today and one of the bumblefoot wounds started oozing so I cleaned it further and all the nasty junk came with very minimal effort. I was shocked! Her foot looks so much better now! I left the other foot alone because I didn’t think it was fully ready to be worked. Seriously - thank you again. I hope I never have to deal with bumblefoot again but if I do, I know exactly how I will go about it. Thank you!!!!
Aw, that is very good to hear! Hope the other foot turns out just fine too! Very happy we could be of any help to anyone in need ❤️🐔
Your hen is super chill. Too cute!
She is a trooper for sure. Just need to make them feel comfortable considering the circumstances
Wonderful video! Very helpful, thank u! I just noticed today that one of my girls has bumble foot. Her pad is extremely swollen. I cleaned and used a scalpel to try to help her. I was able to shave off most of the hard stuff. I sprayed with peroxide and applied a homemade chicken ointment. Tomorrow I will start your method. Thanks again!!!!❤
THIS IS A FANTASTIC INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO- STRAIGHT TO THE POINT- THANK YOU!!!
It's one of the best videos I have watched for bumblefoot...TY
This has been the most helpful video for me. Thank you so much I have everything except for the salve… I just ordered it. It will be here tomorrow.
To add I recommend a part 2 video we did on just removal and also get betadine (iodine) to clean. Here’s link to that video
ruclips.net/video/Fcu923LK59U/видео.html
Great video. Very informative. Ty for sharing
I'm glad I came across this video because one of our flock was limping around this afternoon & it looked like an early onset of bumblefoot (very similar to what is seen in this clip). We followed what you guys did with your girl & hopefully it's able to heal up quickly (she was still timid on her foot after being bandaged up, but she was able to hop up into the coop on her own earlier this evening).
We hope she feels better soon, we noticed our girls condition was improving greatly from just the treatment. The swelling went down before removing the scab. If her condition doesn’t improve you may want to use antibiotics to knock out the rest of the infection. Penicillin or amoxicillin are good for bumblefoot
@@BockBockBouquet She's well & truly on the mend now. We've given her an Epsom salt bath for the last few days & applied antiseptic cream & bandaged up her foot. She had a decent limp the first day or so after we treated her, but she's been walking almost normally today & is eating/sleeping properly
@@shanebonacci2089 that’s great to hear!
GREAT job!!! You took good care of her, without causing pain. 😊🐔♥
Chickens hide their pain, & hide it very well. However, we still need to do things that must be done for their welfare, and the care for this hen was lovely.
I just found you and already have learned a ton. My little guy has bumble foot and I started with soaking in epsom salts and the spray. I have removed him to recover. Thanks for the help.
You two are so helpful and i personal appreciate all your teaching us ❤️
Aw thank you so much 😊 ❤️
Thank you! I'm dealing with my first case of bumblefoot. I caught hers before a plug had formed & started her care differently. Last night, we noticed increased swelling in the pad of her foot, so I packed it in raw honey. Watching your video I realized that what I thought was a really hard scab tonight is actually a/the plug. I'll be making a trip to the farm store & Walmart in the morning! Thankfully, they're in the same parking lot 😂
You are an amazing instructor. Thank you so much❤
I was out of commission for many weeks recovering from surgery. My husband kept up with all my chicken needs (I have a small flock of about 30) but when I finally was able to get out he pointed out one of RIRs and said, does her foot look wrong to you? Ugh! So hubby and I spent all day Saturday going through each and every chicken doing a wellness check LOL It was a Looong 5-hour process, but I finally have all my girls leg-banded and was able to care for two chickens with bumblefoot (both have it on both feet).
From your video, it sounds like I'll be taking care of this for quite a while, but they are worth the effort. And while "pimple popping" type stuff is one of only three or four things that makes me gag, I'll gladly deal with it to help my hens. Thank you SO very much for all your wonderful info, including your calm demeanor and thorough explanations. I'm feeling much more confident about the work I have ahead of me
Aw sorry you’re going through all that! Our bumblefoot hit us during a hectic time as well. And it does take some time but we know you both got this! The PRID does an amazing job of softening the scab for easy peel off removal. Minimal gagging I promise! Lol
That was oddly satisfying seeing that come out but I’m a nurse and we love stuff like that!🤣
HAHAHA! Thank you. I ( Ricardo) am a dental assistant, so I know exactly what you mean lol
I like watching this kind of stuff too and my mom is a nurse and cannot stand it which is funny to me. I like watching the zit videos except all those health spas make me sick because none of them ever get all the infection out. They just pop the black head off and take an extreme risk of getting infection in the patient because if they bust the sack inside all that junk just goes back in the person and can cause an abscess that's why it's important for medical professionals to do it on people or at least somebody that knows what the hell they're doing it's not rocket science lol. At least you're doing a very thorough job and care for the animals. It seems like all the zip videos on people are just more concerned about making them come back for more money because they don't get rid of all the pus. Very very old video and you explained everything very well. It's hard to get a compliment out of me if you're not doing it right and as far as I can tell you the good job. Thanks for being one of the good ones that actually does what they're supposed to.
Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the details you showed how to treat this!
I'm so glad you posted this! I love getting educated before I need it. My chicks are growing fast.
Thank you & thanks for watching! Aw we love the chick stage. The cuts and scrapes that can turn infected can be caused on larger heavy birds by jumping off high roost bars, we think this may have been caused for us by the mulch we added in the garden giving her a splinter. We hadn’t had this happen to us in the past so that’s our prime suspect. Just things to consider!
How old are yours?
@@BockBockBouquet Oh, that's right! I remember you were using sand when I started watching your channel. I need to catch up!
@@watchmansduty Mine will be 3 weeks old on Monday!❤️
@@moonrayn aawwhh they are so sweet. Mine are a little over 4 weeks.
With regard to aftercare, repeat Hydrogen peroxide rinses are not advisable - it nonselectively destroys cells and proteins including the ones that the skin matrix requires to heal the wound. Wounds will heal better and more quickly without hydrogen peroxide - a gentle wash with soapy water if dirty and reapplication of antibiotic ointment will work great without it.
Really good video. I just discovered you, when searching for visuals of tips in treating my first bumblefoot scabs. Thank you, I learned a lot from your clear instructions!
My boy doesn't have bumblefoot but has injured his leg somehow. He has a long scab and a big almost golfball sized swelled area at the bottom of his drumstick. It has thick yellow cheesy stuff under the scab. We've soaked and put antibiotic on it and wrapped it but no change. We're going to get the stuff you have in the video tomorrow and try that. He's such a sweet boy. We already had to treat him for another rooster almost killing him. He couldn't even raise his head for several days. We were afraid he would die but we kept him alone and he finally got well. And now this.
That "golf ball" has to be opened & the "cheesy" material removed, otr the infection will get much worse.
We kept soaking and digging that stuff out of the area. We unwrapped it one day and the" ball" had split open and the yellow stuff was just there for us to pull out. We kept digging, packing with some blue creamy ointment stuff we had bought and it kept getting smaller. It was very small last time. We hope that it will finally go away. But since the tendon or something had been broken and will not grow back together he will always limp so he will have to be kept away from the other roosters. @@ellendaniels3026
Thank you so much for valuable info. I’m still a new chicken mom, almost 1 year & got my first case of bumble foot that I gotta treat. Need to get my supplies & get started…again, thanks!
Welcome! We just uploaded a new short video on the extraction with a better camera angle. I’ll link it below. I also recommend ordering and using betadine, an iodine solution to clean the wound
ruclips.net/video/Fcu923LK59U/видео.html
Most helpful information I have found...THANK YOU 🐓😁
So glad we could be of help! Hope your baby is better soon 🐔❤️
This is an awesome, very informative video. I wish you had close ups when you are working on her foot so I could see better. Thank you so much!
We actually have a newer updated video showing just that! I’ll link it right here. This video focuses on close up of the extraction
ruclips.net/video/Fcu923LK59U/видео.html
@@BockBockBouquet I just found it right before I received your message and watched it. Perfect, and thank you so much! It is amazing how calm your chicken is while you are working on its feet. It doesn't seem like it is causing any pain or harm, so that is wonderful. This is our 1st year with laying hens, and we are learning so much. We have had one with sour crop that we have been treating, and it seems like her crop is distended and not going back to normal. I'm going to search and see if you have any videos about that. Your knowledge and calmness in dealing with your chickens is inspiring to us as we are so nervous about everything as we are learning. 😬
Thanks so much for this video showing how to care - I have learnt much from your videos. Keep doing new things.
Thank you so much, we hope they are helpful to some people
Thanks, I am scared to do this alone, but here I go.
Always give a thumbs up to videos that are showing the best way now to help animals even chickens! Or yesterday. He came up because I was watching a person remove an abscess on a guy. The chickens seem to contain it a lot better than we do on their foot. I imagine just because they don't have the same amount of blood supply. I've never seen a zit removed that look like a corn kernel. I saw one of these on another channel that more crack came out of that than I thought that poor animal had space in the foot. I really like people that take good care of their animals. I have seen a massive correlation between people that are kind of animals that are also kind to people too. Of course there are exceptions. In my line of work I really get the deal with mean people in the best way. And you know what the people they're always kind to the bartenders and wait staff are rarely ever have a problem with it. It's always the ones that are just jerks and they're usually jerks to animals too.
We love our animals very much and think people should have compassion for all animals and people as well. Be kind to others you do not know what they are going through, especially in service industry I don’t know how people can be so rude to others. Chickens hide their illness and pain since they are a prey animal they do not want to look weak so their flock doesn’t think they are making the whole pack of birds weak and endangering them more so, if that makes sense. Puss in birds is also different, usually hard instead of liquid like humans. Ours was small because we had been giving her treatment and her infection didn’t get so bad. We check over our flock daily to make sure they are healthy. They are beloved pets so we notice right away if someone is acting unusual or sick
Very informative. I'm a newbie with chickens .
Excellent illustration, thanks for this video. Its good to know
Thank you, we have recently posted an updated video with better detail close up shots of the actual extraction if you want to check it out I’ll link it here
ruclips.net/video/Fcu923LK59U/видео.html
Thank you so much we are going to be starting our chicken journey soon. Waiting for our babies to ship.
Congrats on your babies! You’re going to love them
One thing you might want to have on hand at all times is a towel that has been sewn into a funnel like tube to hold any chickens that you need to work on.
Absolutely Adorable! Awesome info!
Thank you!
I found one of my girls limping today. She would pull her foot under her while standing and just hold it against her. I first noticed something was wrong while I had them out free ranging. She’d go off by herself and sit. Her appetite and drinking is still good. My biggest problem is going to be catching and handling her. I got my birds when they were nearly a year old. They were raised with little human contact. I work with them every day, but it’s been a challenge to get them to tolerate hands on. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello are you sure she has a bumble? She will come around our birds that are rehomed to us older always do and end up chasing us for snacks lol. Try hand feeding favorite treats. Also just try handling them at night for wellness checks. They go into a trance calm state while sleeping and even the most wild bird can easily be pulled off the roost bar to look at. She may have just hurt her leg and in a few days stop limping. This can happen time to time and they usually just get better on their own in our experience
@@BockBockBouquet You are so spot on!! We gathered up our medical supplies, rehearsed our plan of action, then headed to the pen to play Dr. House. LOL!!! I sat in the run for over an hour hand feeding them while trying to figure out which one was limping. They all looked good and fought for the chance to eat from my hand. We’ll take a closer look this evening when I release them to free range. I never knew that about their state of mind on the roost. That will come in handy!! Thank you so very much!!!
@@rogerknight2267 lol I love that show I have all the seasons on dvd 😂 good luck hopefully no bumble and they are all doing well!
Wait until dark, when she is on the roost. Using as little light as possible, you can lift her right off the roist.
They can't see well in the dark.
Another excellent video with super practical measures - well done & thanks
Many thanks!
Thank you for your compassion. I'm afraid your number isn't plentiful so it's refreshing and heartwarming to see it.♥
Thank you for admitting it doesn't always go smoothly but you can get it done. My first time using blukote and it was a mess. I learned from that! And you are so right. Lay all your supplies out so you can work on them. You guys are great thank you for posting this
Oh yes! 😂 never wear clothes you like or expect your hands to not turn blue. Always happens so messy lol. Thank you for watching!
Ohh yes what a Mess😂 I was blue, she was bluish purple, it looks good on her!
This is too cool! but honestly the entire time I was thinking if it was painful to the chicken lol
Thank you! Unfortunately it may be because chickens don’t show pain like we do, they hide it. But she never acted like it hurts and possible feels good to rid the infection, must hurt more walking around with it. Couldn’t let our poor girl have a hurt foot like that
We have no way to know. Chickens will "hide" pain from horrible injuries, & hide it well, to avoid being pecked by their flock, or singled out by a predator. That doesn't mean they don't feel it...they have nerves, just like we do.
That being said, sometimes we have to cause (even severe) pain in humans & other creatures, in order to help them heal & survive.
Don't believe that because you can't recognize anither's pain, that it isn't there. Especially across species.
Aww she's so cute
Thank you we love her ❤️ she’s a sweetie
Amazing video, thanks for the great tutorial!
Thank you!
It so nice to see someone wearing gloves while doing this. If you watch videos from South America, Africa, or parts of Southeast Asia, they will dig these out with a dirty stick off the ground, their fingernails, and even their teeth. The lack of basic hygiene in the third world is terrifying.
Gloves are good...I'm not knocking them. But remember, they weren't available to "regular people" in the USA 100 years ago. With cholera. And dysentery. Unless one has cuts on the hands, soap & water works very well.
@@ellendaniels3026 You are right about the lack of gloves but people were far more likely to die of infections back than so it kind of makes my point. Even soap and water is not enough when it comes to bacteria and infections.
Agreed! Most killer inections were from trauma (injuries) & infectious human diseases, however. I'm not saying people shouldn't wear gloves--just don't freak out if you don't have them when you want them. 2 yrs in vet surgery, 47 in human surgery...direct exposure to T.B., hepatitus, etc. Before AIDS, we often grabbed used, bloody surgical instruments bare-handed, after a case, because of severe time constraints. Was that a good practice? No, of course not. Would I endorse it? No, of course not. Would I handle instruments with HUMAN blood on them, now? Only in an absolute crisis. If your skin is intact & in good condition, are you LIKELY to have a problem? Not if you do a thorough nail & hand wash. Including using a paper towel to turn the tap on (to protect others) & a clean one to turn the tap off. Don't touch sink taps or door handles--viruses are far more easily contracted than bacterial infection. Intact skin is evolved to be protective. Also, it's a choice. I still do CPR mouth-to-mouth on the street, if needed. LOTS more dangerous than treating bumblefoot barehanded!
Gloves are good--but don't freak out when you see a person in a "3rd world nation," who doesn't have access to them, working on an animal issue. With intact skin & good hygiene, they'll be fine.
Totally awesome chicken care!
Thank you!
I really was interested in watching your treatment. I especially enjoyed watching the back of your hand & seeing what the corn looked like after you got it out so I would know how to do it correctly & what it should look like after it is removed 😉
We realize this after needing a cameraman so we have a quick part 2 video only showing this process. Linked in the description
Sarcasm sucks.
That was a very good video. My hen was not walking well and sitting more than usual. I found small dark areas on each foot, so assumed it was Bumblefoot. I used all the products that you mention, including the epsom salt bath. After 15-20 minutes of soaking, I picked at the dark spot a little with the tweezers, but didn’t want to be too aggressive, though I did losses it up a bit. I used a gauze pad with Vetericyn and Prid and vet wrap, though my initial wrap didn’t work out so well. Now, I know how to wrap it more effectively. I will give her another soak in a few days and change the wrap daily. Hopefully, I won’t have to do surgery, as I couldn’t see that there was much there. I did think her foot pads seemed a bit swollen but was unsure how soon to try and how much to press it. Your video provided lots of reassuring tips. Thank you !
Thank you we are glad to help let us know if you have any more questions, we removed the scab when it was falling off on its own. We noticed the swelling and infection went down just from the PRID/Vetricyn treatment. Chickens have a strong immune system and usually have everything they need to fight the infection. In very severe cases antibiotics may be needed. Keep doing what you’re doing and be patient as bumblefoot can take some time to completely heal
Getting the scab off & the infectious material out isn't a terribly gentle job. You aren't doing her any favors by diing only 1/2 the job. Not trying to be mean.
Today, I finally removed the bumblefoot on my chicken
My chicken care!
@RealSimpleMama has this exact method from a few years ago on her channel too, But thank you for an actual demonstration. The info from both of you is incredibly useful👍🏾
That’s great! We love this no scalpel method, works very well 😊
Very good demo, and good work.
Thanks so much! Hope it was of any help!
Lovely neat job. I’m doing my chicken later.
Thank you!
Great information!
Thank you so much for this. Very informative, my chicken also has bumblefoot so this is very helpful.
We also just posted a quick new video that shows how you can easily do the procedure alone and close up shots of extraction. I’ll link it here

You 2 & your flock are just adorable...So glad to have found you! Sendin' the Chickie Love from NEPA. Have not had this type of thing arise...I get foxes & fisher-cats to deal with ($.25 ea. takes care of such issues)...but grateful for the info foresight. As with any "Medicinal protections"...better to have & not need, than need & not have! I've added much to my barn-aid cabinet since finding your stream. Blessings to Continuance & Growth. oooxxx
Thank you so much! Thanks for tuning in and welcome to our channel ❤️❤️❤️
Minutely😊 informative
Always helpful tips from you. Please note peroxide literally debrides good and bad tissue and although many have been wrongly taught to use on wounds - I would skip that step. It just slows the healing process and doesn’t not kill anything but cells / tissue - unless the idea os to debride and kill the tissue growing?
Thank you, this was new information to me after seeing comments in the video and doing further research. I can learn so much from you guys too, this is a great community. Luckily we had only used it at the end. Here I had been religiously pouring it on my own bad scrapes on myself my whole life with no idea lol. Our girl is all healed up now, but if there is a next time we now know not to use peroxide
H2O2 actually is a good flush. 3%, no stronger, for the first flush. If you wish, you can dilute it 50/50 with cooled boiled water. After the initial cleaning (H202 bubbles dirt out of crevices) switch to vetrycin, or another product.
H202 3% is, however, absolutely the best to use when treating "fly strike" which is maggots burrowed into the animal. Drip a drop in the maggot hole, wait with good tweezers, & quickly grab it, when it sticks it's breathing apparatus out of the hole. Repeat as necessary, until EVERY single maggot is out. Then leave the wounds alone, & keep the animal where there are NO flies, until healed.
Fly eggs look like bundles of tiny grains of white rice, stuck to fur or feathers. In chickens, check wounds & vent areas, especially if dirty.
Mammals--check wounds, corners of eyes, umbilicus / navel / bellybutton, behind ears, all 4 "armpits," & anus. It's very important to check orphaned animals immediately--maggots keep boring, & will kill them. H202 is a very valuable tool, if used appropriately.
great video, very helpful! did you soak her feet in epsom salts and apply prid every day for 2 weeks?
Hay i am waching you from pakistan
Your chicken is very beautiful
As like you
Taking notes…..as always! Thank you so much, I cannot say it enough lol. ❤️
Thanks for watching ❤️
OUWIE !! mommy ur the BEST !! Chicken says thank YOU !!!
wow, that looks like it might warrant eye protection.
I was just clicking around / interested in getting some birds... wondering what it all entails... fyi
TIP: get a baby swaddler that velcros shut, and much easier to handle the chicken.
Great tip thanks!
THANK UUUUU MY FAVORITE CHICKEN HAS BUMBLE FOOT AND NOW I CAN HELP MY BABY
Hope she recovers quickly! ❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your wonderful video!!!
Aw, thanks a lot! Hope you found it helpful
Great info! Interesting about the attraction to red. My kiddos have really noticed that! I’ll be watching for bumble foot!
It's like a bull in the cartoons lol. Thanks for tuning in ❤
Chickens are definitely not allergic to anything ending in "caine". There are numerous instances where chickens are injected with lidocaine, including by veterinarians removing bumblefoot.
Excellent video.....thank you
Thank you!
Hi there! First off, great video! I have a question about Prid, I know that we should not use products that contain pain relievers but the Prid says Pain Relief and Drawing Salve so I am wondering why this is safe but other ointments aren't? Or is there another Prid that does not have any pain relief in it? Thank you so much for the informative videos!
When you say you treated for a couple of weeks, was it 2 weeks or more like 3 or 4?
Fantastic video. Im waiting for the products that will be here tomorrow so I can treat one of my girls using this method. Did you find your girl started to improve after you started treatment prior to removing the kernel? By improve I mean better mobilty. If so, how long was it before you noticed an imprveemnt?
Thank you for a clean and informative video! All those other ungloved videos are just so grotesque I can’t learn lol
Glad we can help! I can’t imagine not wearing gloves I wouldn’t want anything to touch me and I disinfect everything after because cross contamination scares me lol. We just uploaded a new bumblefoot video last week I’ll link below. Just a quick removal this time with close up shots of the actual removal as I have a cameraman this time instead of a tripod.

Tried Prid imported it to Australia. Cost about $25..did absolutely nothing!! I ended GOING in with scalpel cutting it out
Using Prid does not mean you don't ever need a scalpel. It's not curative--lots of people use it to soften a scab & surrounding tissues. It's only the first stage, & some prefer to just soak & get to it.
Y’all are awesome
Nice
