Bumblefoot is usually caused first by an abrasion to the skin of the foot pad and then an infection sets in causing a large growth on the bottom of the chickens foot. It doesn't have to be a wide open cut just a small scrape or light abrasion to the foot pad will be enough to cause a problem. Most cases of bumblefoot involve the following bacteria: Staphylococcus Aureus, E.coli, or Corynebacterium. Once the infection takes hold in a matter of days the foot and or foot pad becomes swollen and is somewhat reddened and may be hot to the touch. If the foot is swollen but is still soft to the touch you have a very good chance of curing the problem with antibiotics alone. If you allow it to go untreated, the chickens will often succumb to secondary infections.
