Hi.
I have a buff Orpington rooster. He is about 6 months old. A couple of weeks ago he started to walk funny. He would walk slowly, his toes (both feet) pointed out as if he can bend them. I cleaned them, treated for scaly leg (his scales looked fine but still treated it) trimmed his nails and hoped that would help. It didn’t. He is still not walking properly. He seems to be in pain. Tried cleaning again today. There now seems to be black/reddish dots on the bottoms of his feet, some around the toes. Some I could pull off and others I couldn’t. Some were hard to pull off (I soaked him in Epsom salts before I done this). Any idea what this is? I don’t think it’s bumble foot as there is so many spots/lumps and it’s on both feet. Also when I took the scabs off there was no wet puss coming out.. any help would be great
