About a month ago I had a silkie hen limping and eventually could not stand on the foot affected. The foot appeared to be cut and healing. About a week later her FOOT FELL OFF. I inspected the test of the silkies in that pen and one of my roosters has a toe that appeared to have been broken, bent about 90 degrees and has mostly healed that way. I noticed today one of my ameraucan roosters limping, inspected and found his feet to be in the above condition. The rest of my flock seem fine, feet look normal. I treated for mites in early spring as the silkie hen who lost her foot appeared to have mites. (Dusted, replaced bedding etc..)
I should mention I have 8 amies, and three swedes free ranging. I keep their coop reasonably clean. The silkies are not free range and are held in a coop apart from the rest.
