Bumble foot…Wait and see?

Bumble foot…Wait and see?

I randomly discovered one of my girls has very mild bumble foot on one foot. Then decided to check my other hens and another hens has it as well. Both are fine, not limping, very mild swelling and small dark scab.

I’m worried to start messing with it as we are leaving for a trip in 2 weeks and I don’t want to leave them mid-treatment.

Does bumble foot ever resolve on its own? Does it progress rapidly? If I wait and treat when we return from our trip one July 5, will it be a problem?

I have looked at the all the treatment info and plan to attempt the soaking and picking and wrapping technique. Not full “surgery”

I’d love insight from anyone who has to wait ti treat or has a super easy method that’s less of a production. I see someone on another thread that just sprays with vetericin and wraps.

Looking for stones/rock

I need to buy some stones and rocks like you would do a stone retaining wall with. I’m struggling to find anything online. Free would be great but if I need to buy them I will. Thanks!
