    Rooster foot problems...help

    Update: so its definitely frostbite I've been doing the epsom salt for a few days now. I'm concerned because the bottom of his one foot is mostly black and he barley stands on it.

    Welsummers

    I love my welsummers! My farm store doesn't sell them anymore I've had my three girls for almost 4 years now and are still laying eggs!

    Rooster foot problems...help

    I live in Michigan. That weather here has been all over the place. I didn't notice anything over the winter with his feet. I keep close tabs on that in the winter with my chickens and ducks. They are all free range so they are always out in the yard (5achers) and hardly go in the coop. In the...
