Bumblefoot (Pododermatitis)

Bumblefoot (pododermatitis) is a bacterial infection and inflammatory condition affecting the footpad of chickens. It occurs when bacteria, usually Staphylococcus aureus, enter through small cuts, abrasions, or pressure sores on the foot. This leads to swelling, redness, and the formation of a characteristic hard, pus-filled core (scab or abscess).

If left untreated, bumblefoot can progress to deeper infections, affecting tendons and bones, potentially leading to lameness or systemic illness.
