heres a pic of HER on legged chicken...i borrowed it from facebook, i dont think shes mind, i was going to send her this thread but she is offline...i hope it gives you hope that chickens are fine with one foot...and only a few toes

i know a woman who had a chicken with only one foot (and only partial toes on the foot it does have) and the other foot was lost at the ankle adn her hen is just fine. She is actually on BYC. She lost it to frost bite...so even if you lose the foot id bet that chicken would turn out okay! So if...

nobody?

ive had chicks so that. i always thought it was swollen from the poo being stuck. i soaked in warm water, kept it clean, and rubbed in just a *TINY* bit of neosporen, too much will make debris stick to their bum again, so very very little rubbed in. could you maybe add a pic? the can prolapse...

i also wonder if instead of bumble foot if it could have been pox? head head looks like pox to me. heres some pics from google of the avain pox...

just my thoughts...which could be wrong.....but....her combs is also affected for one. Could be abscesses? i wouldn't think antibiotics and isolation would be a bad idea. Or maybe avian pox? Hows the rest of the flock? Hows her eating? How old? Egg production? Poo? ect ect? Any more info...

Also i noticed "bad breath" in the most ill hen....what ever this was, WAS NOT slow onset, but progressed rapidly over 24 hours..So maybe not CRD?

No one knows? could this have been something else beside CRD?

Just a thought....How do you guys travel with your birds? I have 1 small crate, 1 medium (could hold a few birds), and a wire cage ( for rabbits, use it for chicks). I have to travel with mine in the back of a trail blazer so i need to keep it clean. I guess lots of newspaper? any helpful tips...

Thanks, I thought so as well. So Im guessing calico is just an off color? Either way I like it...its kinda unique. Im having to rehome him though.....we though he was a hen.....just a late bloomer.
