    New chick with inflamed/ deformed foot, plus polydactyl

    Update. Our chicken is still alive. If I had a similar issue I would use above treatment. She is a beautiful hen just has some unique genes and a foot deformity. Otherwise she is happy and healthy ☺️ she is pictured on the right.

    That is good to know, otherwise I'd be worrying if he is in fact a late bloomer😄 thanks for the knowledge!

    Thank you. I was leaning toward cockrel as well but I have not heard him crow yet, while my other roos already do so. Much appreciate your help! As planned, he will be integrated into our mini bachelor flock 🥰

    While I know there is not much in the way of treatment, does anyone think tylan 200 (at proper diluted dosage) would give it a better chance at surviving?

    New chick with inflamed/ deformed foot, plus polydactyl

    Your right. Did a little more research and found it quite possibly has mushy chick disease conpounded with everything else it has going on. Poor thing. I'll still give it a chance as the duckling from this article/ post with same ailment ended up surviving and living a full life. For anyone...

    That be a real shame. In your experience is there anything I could try as a precautionary measure for possible infection? Any antibiotic safe for new chicks? Desperate to keep this one alive 🥹
