The hen with bumble foot still has swelling, so we set up an epson salt and warm water foot bath. My chickens really like foot baths, so this was not a hardship or scary for her! (Next time I find bumblefoot, this a soak will be the first step.)

We set up the foot bath (which is a large plant pot tray) inside the isolation ward (cupboard with screen) so we could keep her from drinking the water. My eldest gave her some mealworms, which she appreciated! We had her hang out there for several minutes before taking her out. I couldn’t get anymore out of the wound, so we wrapped it up again and let her be on her merry way.
