Chicken Helpers and Bumblefoot

Two chicken assistants today to help check the bottoms of the girls feet for any foot pad dermatitis or bumblefoot.  I have been closely watching for them to be limping.   

Ellis was our chicken wrangler/catcher.  Cassie was the holder.  And I was the checker.

And this is what I was looking for.  Shoot!  And I thought I was doing everything to prevent this.  Now to read all I can as to how to get her well.  She still has no limp or anything.  And wouldn't you know it would be Susie, the one with the split beak!

This boy loves to play with my chickens! 

He has them jumping and eating out of his hands...and sneaking it out of the bowl.
