Bumblefoot Herbal Tincture (For Chickens/Ducks/Poultry)
Has your flock ever encountered bumblefoot? If you're a long time poultry owner, my guess is probably yes! Bumblefoot is a staph infection that occurs on the feet of poultry and can be a pain to get rid of. This tincture could be a solution for you! With the powerful medicinal qualities of oregano, thyme, yarrow, jewelweed, lavender, clove, sage, sweetfern, lemon balm, and rosemary, you can treat bumblefoot topically. When dealing with bumblefoot in my flock, I found that cutting the infection out only helped a handful of my chickens, because much of the infection can be stubborn and hard to remove all of it in one sitting. I needed another option, because two of my ladies just weren't healing!
I switched to this method of generously applying this homemade tincture to a sterile gauze, and then wrapping the chicken's foot with it, allowing the herbal tincture to penetrate the footpad for 24-48 hours. I kept replacing the bandage in this manner until I saw results. In more aggressive cases of bumblefoot, I noticed that the tincture actually helped draw the infection to the surface, so that I could scrape out the infection less invasively and avoid cutting into healthy tissue. With less serious cases, I found no need to scrape out the infection at all as it just seemed to heal on its own with the tincture.
If you're poultry lover like me, be sure to add this homemade tincture to your livestock first aid kit!
