I am not a vet this is what i do for bumblefoot because i don't have a vet that take chickens where i live beware blood if you don't want to do this please see a vet that will take chickens
Even if you had a Vet that takes Poultry you likely couldn't afford it! we took one of our Geese 3 yrs ego wit 4 bumbles (2 on each Foot) and ended up costing $ 430 Canadian for Surgery! Charge for the visit, for \x-rays, for Sleep meds for Surgery, for Pain killers and for keeping her overnight! I mean really no X-rays needed, no knocking her out needed, and no overnight stay needed So after that we do it ourselves we have 200+ Poultries Chickens, Guinea Hens, Roosters, Ducks, Geese, and Turkeys! So we have I dunno i say 50-60- Bumblefoot cases a year so it could be a $20 000/year if we use the Vet Who can afford that? Only a Millionaire who are keeping Poultry as a hobby! No one else! Great Video Cheers! Greetings from Yukon Canada!
Thank you soooo much! Our chicken has the same issue with his foot. Very good & detailed video. We love seeing good AMERICAN videos! Bless you & yours!!!!
I have a chicken that didn't limp for a long time, but I could see that her ankle and webbing were pretty swollen. But, she ran around, scatched around and ate like normal. But, here recently she started limping. I should have kept an eye on her. I checked out her foot pad, and she's got almost the entire pad blackened! I don't know what I'm going to do. I've got a lot of limping chickens, but it's so hard to find the time to deal with this. My husband and I tried to take care of two chickens, but I guess we didn't do a very good job; because after treatment, they're still limping around. I'm sooo bummed about the whole situation.
@@debbiedooshomesteading7027 so I have a few chickens I’ve been caring for. One has a bump on one foot with a small scab which I’ve been treating with PRID. I’ve been using all the medical supplies you mentioned and more. I’m not sure if I will need to do a more invasive procedure on her. I also have another chicken with 2 small spots on her feet. Could I send you pictures to get your thoughts on next steps? I don’t want to start cutting into their feet unless I have to. I’ve watched and read a lot but just looking for your thoughts. Thank you!
@@reneethompson3211 I used prid it take longer then cutting it out you can try socking in warm unscented Epsom salt I would sock the foot for 15-25 mins the longer the better and put prid on it rap up the foot and wait for 3 days and sock it again and see if you can pulled the scab off if it don't repeat. if so make sure all of the infection is out put Original NEOSPORIN Ointment ONLY DO NOT GET THE ONE WITH PAIN RELEVER IT WILL KILL THE CHICKEN change the bandage everyday if that don't work you can try to cut it out or see a vet that takes chickens good luck.
Ok I have 2 of them in my basement it’s about 15 degrees warmer in my basement right now during the day and I do have a heat panel in the coop but thanks for that info. as that makes sense. . Appreciate your time. 😊
Have you tried "Prid"? Irs supported to draw the infection closer to the surface so it basically attaches to the core scab and can be pulled out intact. I just ordered some .. will be arriving tomorrow. Also.. its actually a staph infection and can be transferred to you so I would suggest gloves for protection. Got those from dollar tree also.
Thank you, good info. My hen has the same problem. Using some products made it become half its original size, but it is now stuck that half size and it won't heal. I will have to do this too.
You turned the video off to get the hard bit you could feel from the top out. I have that situation with my hen. How did you get it out? Did you dig from the bottom wound? Or cut ftom the top ? Thanks
After soaking the foot (I don't know for how long), she squeezed it, then it looks like she pried using the tweezer/tool, pulled off the top. Then, she went back and forth between squeezing and pulling out more until the hole was empty. Then she applied an antibiotic ointment, then a bandage.
I recently removed the black scabs from my chickens feet expecting there to be a white kernel/hard abscess attached but there was not. I used a scalpel to dig a bit and did not see anything except tissue that was pink and looked like normal flesh but he still has fairly large bumps on the bottom of his feet. How do I know that I got all of the infection out???
I would keep it wrapped up and Soak it in absence salt original scented free clean with ORIGINAL triple antibiotic ointment Change it Every day or every other day And keep your eye on it
Gopal Krishna I would suggest that you go to the Chicken Chicks, or Lisa Steel’s at Fresh eggs daily info. Both of these girls have websites and blogs and you may be more likely to get an answer from them. You may also join their Facebook pages. They have been a wealth of information for me. I might wonder if your chicken has been injured. I had a neighbors dog maul my barred rock hen, and the poor deer has never walked right again! Her legs are splayed out a bit and her little knee was damaged some. She still lays eggs and she still gets around with all the other girls. Best wishes!
thanks for being so caring and loving...your kids are awesome!

Yes, you should have gloves the whole time. You’re dealing with a staph infection.
Barbeque is very lucky to have such a caring mama.

@@reneethompson3211 please be careful if it cold where you live because chicken cant go to cold to warm back to cold try to do it where it not warm .

thank you for this.i had a chicken with this.and i freaked out....now i know how to take care of it.thanks
Good job!
Thanks!
Barbecue, such a cute name! Thank you for vid, I have one chicken who has this.
I love it!
Barbecue Chicken; that’s great 😂

You said there was a bump on her foot that you assumed was also an infection. What did you do for that?
I put Blue Coat on it. And I put original neosporn until it was completely gone
Omg this helped out so much thank so much! :))
you are so welcome glade to help
I wish the chickens would be given a sedative to not feel so much.
Why dont you have rubber gloves on that is a staph infection. Staph is contagious.
I just wanted to help her she was walking funny and didn't think I did put gloves on halfway through the video. I washed my hands very well.
Hell, Did you do get rid of the swelling on the top of her foot?
Yes I did she healed up Very well and doing great .bumble foot Is an infection there's going to be swelling
How do you squeeze it all out when it is on the leg of the chicken?
yes
Bottom of food is a soft pad. So there's tissue to squeeze there
Hey I dont have Epsom salt can we use normal salt
no just use normal epsom salt or warm water to soften the bumblefoot
My chicken have some problem at knees I want to show u please help me I love my chicken basically it is aseel Breed IAM from India
I'm not 100% sure, I would check with the vet because I don't want to give you false information.
@@debbiedooshomesteading7027 but first u have to see na
