    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    So upon further inspection, the chick might be suffering from splayed legs as well. Initial search of the topic showed legs falling outward to the left and right of the chick. But I have seen some photos now where the legs fall to the head and tail, which is what this chick is doing. I'll try...

    My end all question is: will this chick survive live a horrible or fine life?

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    This is how she was walking with the boot and how she looks without it. I believe my attempt at a boot forced the toes to point to the side and not in front as the pictures show.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    She is "walking" on the top part of her leg. Not the bottom. She is able to hobble over to food and water but getting back under momma hen is a challenge. Momma does help by trying to move to her. I'll try to get pictures of her on the table.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    I wanna say it's strained. The bone isn't broken. I think that since the bandage is weighing her foot down she doesn't want to walk on it. It's not splayed as I can tell. When I pick her up the legs fall straight underneath her. I'll try and get photos soon.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    So I got a little chick with a normal foot and then her right foot the inside and middle are curled but the outside toe is bent up. The foot looks a little deformed but I didn't have problems putting a bandaid boot on her. My problem: She is 3 days now and the leg has gone lame in the brooder...

    6 week old Abandoned and the Flock's Punching Bag

    Follow Up: Let her roam around in the run area with the new chicks. Yeah they pecked her a lot, but the rooster in there actually did his job and didn't let the other hens peck her too much. Took about 4 days for her to figure out how to handle the other chickens. They no longer chase her...

    She was abandoned at 3 weeks and is currently 6 going on 7. All other 14 chickens just chase and beat her down. Corner her then jump on her and each peck a couple of times. I have 2 40sqft coops with over 1500 sqft free range area.

    Paver Gravel as grit?

    As a calcium supplement. So soluble.

    Paver Gravel as grit?

    So I happened upon a supply of paver gravel. I looked up that it is mostly limestone. Any chance this could be used as a substitute for a source of grit? ~Chicken

    More Aggressive Roo

    I have 4 hens with him. But they haven't started producing eggs yet. The drop kick didn't have force in it and my girl is pretty tall for her age. She said she wasn't hurt, but we shall take precautions.
