Bumblefoot in Chickens: Prevention, Treatment, and Care
Bumblefoot in Chickens: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment, and Happy Feet with Crazy K Farm!
This guide from Crazy K Farm Pet and Poultry covers everything you need to know about bumblefoot in chickens, a bacterial infection of the foot. Early detection of bumblefoot is key. Look for limping, swelling, scabs, and reluctance to roost. Causes include environmental hazards, poor hygiene, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, and improper roosting bars. Prevention focuses on maintaining a clean coop, using smooth roosting bars, providing a balanced diet, and managing weight.
The guide provides a step-by-step treatment process, including soaking the foot, cleaning the area, removing the scab (if possible), surgical removal (if necessary), disinfecting the wound, applying antibiotic ointment, bandaging the foot with Vet Wrap, and applying a Birdy Bootie. Post-treatment care involves keeping the foot clean and dry, monitoring for infection, providing a supportive environment, and addressing underlying causes. Crazy K Farm recommends Birdy Booties and Vet Wrap for treatment and prevention. Consult a vet for severe infections or systemic illness. Regular foot checks and coop maintenance are vital for long-term management.
