The woman at the farm store got a batch of chicks and one had some sort of flesh colored thing wrapped around its leg. She took it off but didn’t want to sell the chick to someone incase it died. And the store owner was going to cull it, so she asked me if I’d take it. I said sure, but the foot looks like it’s going to fall off.
I’ve been spraying it with antibacterial pain relieving spray and that’s all. It’s eating and drinking and running around with the other baby chicks.
Not sure what else can be done or if there’s any chance of saving that foot? Or helping it die off faster if that’s what’s going to happen?
And if it does lose it’s foot, does anyone have experience with a peg legged hen? Can a rooster mount it? (I have roosters in my flock)
