Sorry I’m asking so many questions. Just want to get it right. After the Epsom bath, I put sugar and Betadine on the feet and bandage?

Yeah that’s a bit of clay of his toes. I seen the video you attached thank you. If il treating it like bumblefoot, my best approach would just be new bandages every 2-3 days and an Epsom bath??

They have paper shavings as bedding, they are indoors and dry, except when they free range on the farm. Would bumble foot be all over the foot? I looked up bumble foot and i thought it was 1 black dot and then it was like a plug with infection underneath it??

Hi, I’ve just added photos. Surface isn’t too bad and I’ve 3 others that are with him and have no issues

Hello, sorry for the delay. He is confinded/free ranging on a farm. He has shredded paper for bedding now. He is with 3 other Orpingtons and they all walk fine. He’s been like this a few weeks now. I’ve attached images now, I’ve taken some scabs away to see if there was puss and there was none

I actually thought after I bandaged him up I should have taken photos. Il be taken bandages off in 2 days to clean and re bandage and il get photos then. It was basically like little scabs al on the sole of the right foot and then on the left it was maybe 2-3 small scabs and one bigger one

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...

Yeah I’ve seen on the internet that people can but I’m not experienced enough to know, I could guess based on the internet but was hoping someone could confirm my suspicions 😂

Heya, I’ve heard you can sex Polish chicks by their crest. Does anyone know if these are male or females based on their crest? 😊 I think they are both the same what ever they are 🤔

Had 4 speckled Sussex and 5 silkie. 5 silkies we got off a friend and he has really good quality stock. The speckled Sussex are our own. They were a tad bigger due to not being bantam like the silkies. 2 of the them are left. I had 2 Sussex and a Silkie upto a few days ago. parents are on layers...

No she seems absolutely fine, hasn’t changed physically or behavioural. They chicks still look like day olds. But always eating and drinking so don’t know why they aren’t growing 🙁

Hi, Small bit confused so maybe someone can help 🙏 I’ve a lovely little hen, she hatched early this year. 9 eggs, 9 chicks. She Raised them all outdoors. 1 chick died and others were fine. She decided to go hatching again. She went broody in September. Again, 9 eggs and hatched out all 9...

Thanks everyone for trying to help me solve this mystery. Still not 100% sure what the reason is? I suppose until she hatches again I won’t know if it was a one off. She started to get a bit skinny cause she wouldn’t come out of the broodiness. So I Went off and bought 5 more 2 day old chicks...

She’s greasy and bald underneath but doesn’t seem too skinny but don’t particularly want her to hatch again cause I never see her leave her nest and if there’s no hope. She’s just been persistent as I tried isolating and didn’t stop her being broody

I thought that aswell so I don’t want to put her through another hatch if she just doesn’t get it? I’ve checked her for scaly mites seems grand and she doesn’t smell and others aren’t like that so I’m really baffled and I wouldn’t mind the feathers cause she seems happy but just when the eggs...
