    Bumblefoot is a bacterial infection of the foot found in birds, including chickens. The infection causes an inflammatory reaction with swelling and sometimes an increased temperature being noticeable with the chicken

    Oddly enough, they can catch it from other poultry, especially when living with turkeys.  The droppings of the turkeys seem plentiful with the bacteria causing "Bumblefoot". 

    Ducky?
