What does Bumblefoot look like?
Bumblefoot often presents itself as a small red swelling on the base of the foot, it may also be shiny or if the skin breaks with the swelling and irritation the area may bleed, the chicken will often limp or not rest on the infected foot. If left untreated the area will become infected and puss may become present. This infection can cause distortions and disfigurement of the feet and toes causing future difficulties with walking, perching and in cock birds with mating holds.
