Chicken Problem

Question
Hi there,
One of my Americana hens a wart looking lump on her foot. It's looks like a wart only it looks filled with puss and there is a hard padding underneath the lump. Any ideas on what this is? Thank you so much!

Hello Kali,

Just have to say- 'Americana' is NOT a breed of chicken. Araucana is. They have a lot of interesting history :)

This is something which a vet needs to look at- it will probably need to be lanced or something. Sounds like she's got something stuck in there

Thanks for your question.
