    Neurotic toes

    I apologize for nor getting photos of his toes. Family emergency superseded, and this just went to the rear of the line. I didn't have chance to deal with his toes for a few days, and by the time I was able to check on him, one of the blackened toes had already fallen off, and tge second was in...

    Neurotic toes

    I'm not home, so pictures will have to wait till this evening. If they will self-amputate, I am leaning towards this option. I don't want to risk infection. I was just worried about whether the necrosis might travel further up his foot/leg. I had a dog who disappeared for a week (this was years...

    Neurotic toes

    Thanks, redsoxs. I have been searching on-site, but so far all the necrosis I've been reading about has been pertaining to frostbite. It's September, but in Arkansas that just means summer is getting tolerable. I'm still not sure what to do.

    Foot injuries

    I have been trying to build a chicken coop/run by myself for 6 chicks I bought, but my help has been minimal. Hubby had to have major knee surgery. Kids couldn't make the trip to help. So, our little chicks have been getting put in progressively bigger and bigger tubs to serve as brooder boxes...

    New chicken owner

    I am new to raising chickens. We have two EE's, a RIR, and three astrolocks. I figured I could find out more about them online, but this thread is the only place online that uses the breed "astrolock." What exactly is an astrolock? Thanks in advance, Dawn
