Happy Feet, Happy Flock: Learn to Prevent Bumblefoot Like a Pro!

Calling all chicken enthusiasts, backyard farmers, and homesteaders! Have you ever noticed your feathered friends limping, struggling to perch, or nursing swollen feet? They might be suffering from bumblefoot, a common but serious condition that can affect the health and happiness of your flock. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!

Join us on March 8th, 2025, for the Chicken Healthcare Workshop & Bazaar produced by Nickel Beak Hollow and The Crazy Chickens’ Farm to learn everything you need to know about keeping your flock healthy, happy, and thriving.

What Is Bumblefoot, and Why Should You Care?

Bumblefoot, or pododermatitis, is an infection of the footpad caused by bacteria that enter through small cuts or injuries. It’s more than just a sore spot—if left untreated, it can lead to severe infections, pain, and even jeopardize the life of your beloved chickens.

Here’s why bumblefoot deserves your attention:

• It’s painful for your birds and can impact their ability to walk, perch, or forage.
• Untreated bumblefoot can cause serious infections that spread beyond the foot.
• Early detection and proper care can save your chickens from unnecessary suffering and costly treatments.
