    Chick with fused toes

    She was protesting about having her foot immobilized but no, not much reaction to the actual cut. I’m sure there was a pinch of pain but better than a lifetime of fused toes with the claw of one digging into the other!

    Chick with fused toes

    Here’s a pic of her...the visible foot is the one I cut. Just in case anyone needs assurance that she’s really ok! 😊 Btw, it’s basically impossible to find a vet that will work on chickens. I did the best I could for her.

    Chick with fused toes

    She’s walking on it fine. It’s dry, no open wound. Eating and drinking too. I treated her with homeopathy for pain/trauma and used frankincense oil on the wound. Watching her closely, but she seems to be doing really well. Luckily the membrane was super thin.

    That’s interesting. I definitely think he’s a little smaller than my bantam EEs were at his age.

    What is this chicken??

    I got this chick at Atwoods in a bin of mixed bantams. I assumed they were all pure breeds because I got a Sebright and a silkie too. But I have no idea what this one is! It has a black patch on the front of its comb...not frostbite. It lives inside so far and has only been out when it’s > 70...
