    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Is this bumble foot? :( This is a really close up picture. I soaked it in Epsom salt and warm water and then put the antibiotic ointment on. You can see the ointment from the top of the foot view to give you an idea of where the sore and dark spots are. Also the top of her foot scales look...

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Do you use betadine or vetericyn with the hydrocolloid bandages? I’m going to see if I can make a sort of splint with the hydrocolloid bandages by putting one on the top of her foot and one on the bottom. Kind of how people use the medical tape for curled toes. Unless that’s a terrible idea...

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Thank you! Great idea on using gauze for padding! I’ll do the B complex in a syringe and drop it on her beak. She doesn’t seem to mind it. She was acting like she was in pain when I was reapplying her splint yesterday and she took it off twice. At least I’m guessing she took it off because I...

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Thank you! I’ll update for sure. I’ll continue with the vitamins too. Is it fine if I sprinkle in the community chick feed? Or should the other chicks not get it? B complex with C over the B2 correct? I have both. I was thinking maybe I should do a thin layer of vet wrap on her ankle and leg...

    Could you please take a look at her feet now? I’m worried she’s walking on the bone and going to have skin break down. Thank you!

    Ramp for chickens with curled toes

    They can jump into surfaces but can’t perch. So as long as it’s wide enough like platforms that could work. But also great to hear you find the design a great one! Thank you!

    Ramp for chickens with curled toes

    She couldn’t stand or walk when I first got her. Got some advice from this site and did 2 weeks of riboflavin and vitamin B complex. Also have been splinting basically the whole month. One of her toes curls all the way under and she walks on it. Like her foot steps on her toe. 🙁 I kind of...

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    @coach723 @Eggcessive @alinas2010 I just wanted to thank you all again and update you. The chick is growing. Her left foot ended up curling back and her right foot has stayed curled and has a toe that goes under her foot that she actually walks on. Like she’s stepping on her own toe. I stopped...

    Ramp for chickens with curled toes

    I have 2 chicks that are a month old that have curled toes. I have 2 others the same age that have normal feet. They’ve been having outdoor play time in the run and I don’t think the ones with curled toes are ever going to be able to make it up the ramp into the coop. I have the Eglu Cube...

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Ok thank you! I imagine the vet would be very expensive. I’d much rather fix on my own I just didn’t know if the bones harden at some point and the splints won’t work. Very thankful for your time!

    Also I should be changing the splint daily because of growth and it getting dirty correct?

    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    Very helpful thank you for the pictures!! I may try to buy and in the mean time try to make my own. Is there a point where you’d recommend needing a vet? I’m not even sure where a poultry vet is near me. Thank you for all the help and encouragement.
