Excellent
Love your approach to poultry keeping…thoughtful
Can you cover bumblefoot? I use my poultry on my micro farm to eat and help turn the compost. Bumblefoot has become an issue for me and I can’t figure out the root cause.. so would love a thorough discussion. My birds don’t get the infection on the classic bottom of their feet but through toenail infection and on their back toes.. I have changed all roosts to 2x4s and changed everything I can think of but can’t seem to shake it out of my flock for good
