    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Yup! One is for ducks and one is for chickens! We are really happy with it. She’s had it on since I first posted about this and it’s held up wonderfully and keeps her foot completely dry. Oh and yes, her “bad” foot is warm, normal looking, etc - her toes just like to curl under for some...

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to give an update! Whopper is still exactly the same - her toes are still curled/bent backwards and flaccid. After I posted this we ordered her a boot online and she has had it on since. It allows her to walk around completely fine - no limp at all and no...

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Thank you so much! Yeah, I was really happy when I saw a little bit of improvement and I was also worried about her ability to walk with it on. I will be super excited if she looks even better tomorrow. I watched her for a good hour or so when I first put the boot on her because I wanted to...

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    I’ll take a picture tomorrow - the girls are already in bed :) I made a little splint sort of like this photo but i used a mid/heavy duty plastic, which i put a padding on and used medical tape. I did this this morning and she got around great with it on and none of the other girls messed with...

    Thank you! Her left leg/toes are totally fine. If it is Mareks what other signs should I be looking out for?

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Thank you. My gut tells me it’s an injury and not an illness or infection. I will try all of your suggestions. Do you have a way to splint that you recommend? I’ve never had to before. Would these boots work?http://www.hensaver.com/Birdy-Bootie.html

    Thank you. Can this happen in a 8 month old?

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Thank you so much. The spot on her toe doesn’t come off with my finger so I am guessing it’s Bumblefoot or maybe just a freckle? She does not indicate pain when I straighten her toes out. She doesn’t grip AT ALL with them.

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Thank you! Yes, the toes straighten out easily. I wouldn’t say they “spring” back becausd they are so loose and flaccid. They just go back to being curled.

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Ok here are some pictures. You can see the spot that may be Bumblefoot on her back toe. Does Bumblefoot cause the toes to curl up and be limp? The toes that are curled are NOT the one with that spot. That toe stays straight.

    That’s what I keep worrying about. We have a very polite yet big Cochin rooster - I wonder if he squished her? Pics tomorrow I promise.

    8 month old with curled/flaccid toes

    Thank you! I will try the Nutri Drench! I am feeding them Purina Layena pellets and she was from a feed store. If it was a defiency, wouldn’t the other girls have issues too?
