    Frasier is an almost 4 month Cayuga. Today I noticed him standing on one foot two separate times. So we caught him and took some pictures. There was a small cut on the L foot and it's not even visible in the photos which may have been the source. But I noticed the spots and it's the age old...

    Broken foot, or bumble?

    This is my Jersey Giant rooster’s foot. Two of his toes are doing this, and it terrifies me? He doesn’t seem to be in pain, so if it is broken it must be healed already. Could it be something else? Any help would be appreciated!
