    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    So upon further inspection, the chick might be suffering from splayed legs as well. Initial search of the topic showed legs falling outward to the left and right of the chick. But I have seen some photos now where the legs fall to the head and tail, which is what this chick is doing. I'll try...

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    This is how she was walking with the boot and how she looks without it. I believe my attempt at a boot forced the toes to point to the side and not in front as the pictures show.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    She is "walking" on the top part of her leg. Not the bottom. She is able to hobble over to food and water but getting back under momma hen is a challenge. Momma does help by trying to move to her. I'll try to get pictures of her on the table.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    I wanna say it's strained. The bone isn't broken. I think that since the bandage is weighing her foot down she doesn't want to walk on it. It's not splayed as I can tell. When I pick her up the legs fall straight underneath her. I'll try and get photos soon.

    Chick Club Foot & Bent Toe Needs Help

    So I got a little chick with a normal foot and then her right foot the inside and middle are curled but the outside toe is bent up. The foot looks a little deformed but I didn't have problems putting a bandaid boot on her. My problem: She is 3 days now and the leg has gone lame in the brooder...

    6 week old Abandoned and the Flock's Punching Bag

    Follow Up: Let her roam around in the run area with the new chicks. Yeah they pecked her a lot, but the rooster in there actually did his job and didn't let the other hens peck her too much. Took about 4 days for her to figure out how to handle the other chickens. They no longer chase her...

    6 week old Abandoned and the Flock's Punching Bag

    She was abandoned at 3 weeks and is currently 6 going on 7. All other 14 chickens just chase and beat her down. Corner her then jump on her and each peck a couple of times. I have 2 40sqft coops with over 1500 sqft free range area.

    6 week old Abandoned and the Flock's Punching Bag

    Hello Everyone! I got a 2.5 gen Cochin chick that was abandoned by first time mama 1st gen hen. Since the abandonment, the other chickens (2yr olds (4) and 3 month olds (10)) have set their sights to peck and fight this younger chick. I wanna believe its just a pecking order thing and some...

    Paver Gravel as grit?

    As a calcium supplement. So soluble.

    Paver Gravel as grit?

    So I happened upon a supply of paver gravel. I looked up that it is mostly limestone. Any chance this could be used as a substitute for a source of grit? ~Chicken

    More Aggressive Roo

    And how would one retrain him?

    More Aggressive Roo

    I have 4 hens with him. But they haven't started producing eggs yet. The drop kick didn't have force in it and my girl is pretty tall for her age. She said she wasn't hurt, but we shall take precautions.

    More Aggressive Roo

    He is almost 5 months. Already started crowing a good bit for the past month. I was told that Cochins develop slower and wouldn't crow until 9-12 months. He has been doing a side stepping jig towards me for the past month and slowly been getting closer. This morning was the first time he...

    More Aggressive Roo

    So I got a pretty Cochin Too and he has been pretty tame. However we noticed this week that he is starting to get aggressive. He pecked at my shoe but clawed and pecked my 3 year old. Nothing went through the clothing but this his behavior is evolving. Anyway to get him to calm down? ~Chicken

    Gimp Hen

    Thank you for the correction. Would you consider that enough for her to get over the pain to develop her muscles?

    Gimp Hen

    So I looked her over once more and at better detail. I noticed her muscles are more developed on her left leg than her right (the injured one). Thoughts? Still advocating the Tylenol? Has anyone tried liquid Tylenol? ~Chicken

    Gimp Hen

    I am not a doctor but I have broken my leg before. When I checked her out, the bones felt rigid and didn't move, so I don't believe she has a break. My main concern is that when she hurt her leg, she scarred it and she will go through an endless cycle of spraining her leg. That's why I didn't...
