So I took him to the person and she said it could be a ligament or tendon issue, since his leg was hanging so limply. It’s probably gotten worse since he’s growing so rapidly. It could either heal or get worse, so fingers crossed:fl

I might end up taking him to a more experienced person. I don’t want to accidentally injure him further. Thanks for your advice! :D

T Thanks so much for your help! I might try this and see how it goes. I’ll keep you updated.

IT IS TOO!! He was the smallest and I thought it suited him even more with his 5 toes

Okay so after soaking and cleaning his foot up with a qtip, we had a closer look. It doesn’t seem like bumblefoot at all. His bad leg just stays up while the other stays close to his body, even when upside down (for cleaning). He didn’t yell out while we were cleaning his foot, except when...

Fiver is a 2 month old chick with an unknown leg injury. At first, it started off with a minor limp but it quickly got worse. I put him in a bird cage for 3 days and while I was changing the paper at the bottom I noticed his limp has gotten a lot worse, even with his time in the cage. Fiver’s...
