Temps are all over the place. We hit 86° F @2PM yesterday, and by 6AM this morning 21° F. Yes. A 65° F drop in 16 hours. CRAZY! One windy, HORRIBLLY cold day I let them out and got one hen and my older Rooster (who recently became UNalived by a raptor) :( frostbitten combs and wattles. I...

My sick little guy's Mama, Madame Hairy-ette, :rolleyes: now has some spots on her legs. I don't know what to make of them. There's no blisters, and as far as I know, there hasn't been an injury. Is this Bumblefoot, just at an earlier stage?

Thank you. We have some stuff to do that with. (I know. I know. With which to to that.) :) I'm anxious to get home to see how he's doing. (It's a grandpa-ing day, and we are at my son's farm, tending to 5 young-uns with various stages of the stomach flu. My daughter-in-law is a school teacher...

Yes, it is broken. No X-Ray is necessary to prove that to me. Bones don't 'hinge" between joints. And we have elected to leave the splint off. Was it too tight? Maybe... I would have said no, "it's 100% fine" but that was BEFORE the blisters arrived. I'm less sure about that now. I'd STILL say...

Thank you for the replies. It is a pretty scary set of pics. He will eat out of my hand, but not much else. He crows and flaps in his hospital suite. He is consuming water.

Ok. I think we've accurately diagnosed my ittle Roo's ailment: Bumblefoot. The blisters are exactly like some Google images we looked at. We've now completely removed the splint and the gauze. His foot is darker than the healthy one. The scabbed-over injury is about the size of a quarter on...

I considered that the wrap might be too tight. In fact, we had used a modified aluminum finger splint originally, then removed it after the blisters formed. There are 3 shortened popsicle sticks loosely sandwiched between 2 layers of gauze. The gauze has about 3-4 wraps, each. Gauze, splints...

I lied. Here is a pic or two of the blisters. I forgot I had snapped a few to show my wife. Bizarre....

No displacement in the break, nor is there any misalignment. There was just some slight bending of the leg bone when examining it. My wife isn't even 100% convinced it actually IS a break. (I am...) I have ZERO idea why there are blisters! We didn't take pics of the injury, but the break is...

I've got a young rooster, a 24 week old Black Copper Maran mix with a DIY splint on a broken leg. There was some skin injury below the knee, which we treated woth Neo-sporon and gauze wrapped around it...then the popsicle stick treatment. He's developing water blisters on the effected foot. One...
