Oh, well now I feel a bit silly. I know everyone is trying to help. I guess it's hard not to imagine how the op must feel after posting three times in the last five weeks trying to get help and not getting any specific advice. Yeah I agree with everybody it's frostbite. Probably the roo rested...

I pm'd castportpony yesterday, thank you for the tip. No response yet. Sorry! I spoke out of turn. Castportpony, thank you for the swift response.

There is pussy blood coming from the foot There is a rotten smell about the foot The foot is inflamed The foot is hot to the touch The foot is infected, can any one help. Where could the op look for antibiotics?

I asked the op a list of questions on this thread. Her answers indicated infection. I also whent to the trouble to visit her profile for more information. She has been seeking help since early January, at which point her roosters toes were not yet dead. I'm angry on behalf of the op that she has...

He can't walk anyway. His other leg sticks straight out behind him. He is crippled. Always has been.

It does have an infection! Guys, this gal needs our help not guesses at the original cause. I've talked to her, we're looking at an anerobic bacterial infection localized (for the moment) to the foot. So far I've found that those kinds of infections respond well to penacillin. Is that really the...

Op, is your basement floor concrete or carpeted?

Ok guys, I've talked to the op. Regardless of the cause here's the breakdown of his current condition: Necrotic tissue of three toes, possibly starting in the back toe as well. Inflammation and elevated temperature in the tissues of the foot. Foul, "rotten" odor from the foot. Pussy, bloody...

What have you been able to do for him so far? Is there an unusual smell? Are his shanks hot to the touch? Or just the area right behind his toes? Is there any discharge from the toes now? How about from his noes or eyes? How is he eating and drinking/ how is his appetite? What first aid...

Probably she has gone broody. Make sure she has food and water within reach. Probably she is getting up to relieve herself at least once per day, if food and water are nearby she'll probably grab a bite and a sip while she's up. She may give up on her own after a while. If she's been on the nest...

She's one quarter buff Orpington ( hatchery stock ) and one quarter Easter egger. I have no idea on the rest.

It's the golden brown shins/shanks that have thrown me. I've never seen that before.

Anybody seen this leg coloration before? I'm hoping it might give me a clue as to her breed background. I know who the roo was but not the hen. Any ideas?

It is an in line thermostat. The temp fluctuates 98-104 but the thermometer is really sensitive and the eggs actually feel a little cooler than when I get them out from under a hen. I'm guessing that the high and low don't last long enough for the eggs to lose or acquire too much heat. I'm...

Incubating with an electric heating pad in a cardboard box and blankets/towels. So far so good.

I'm doing an incubator experiment and have some photos of a quitter that might be useful... To someone? Day 7 candle, very clear blood ring and views of the chick. I'm candling daily for this experiment so I know this chick was alive yesterday. Vaulting may have been a factor.

Ah, that would explain some of the faults in his sibs. Nah, not looking to show. I'm using him to improve a non silkie project and wondering how he stacks up and where his genetics might me from. Thanks for the insight. :)

Thanks! :D He's a real sweetheart. Very mellow, attentive boy. I'm pretty sure he's carrying the white shell gene. All his daddy's girls lay brown eggs. :(

What is up with this comb? I can't figure it out and I'm getting ready for breeding season. I'm aiming for pea combs but I have no idea what this comb is, if it has the pea gene or not. Anybody seen anything like this on their EE Roos?

I love this roo lol!
