toe

Hi everybody, first time posting here. I got two turkeys from a friend of mine who bought too many from tractor supply. I picked them up in September and have had them since, I’ll post a picture from the day I got them but I don’t know how old they were then. The tom had a crooked toe back...

Hi! Yesterday when I called all the girls in I found my silkie hen in a corner of the outdoor run just crouching there. I picked her up and realized she was bloody down her front. I cleaned her up in the sink and she is missing feathers on her chest and one of her toes is gone. No idea what...

Hi! I need some help. My appleyard duck got a small cut on her foot a few weeks ago. I cleaned it, used hydrogen peroxide a few days in a row and kept an eye on it. It had seemed to fully heal well, but a few days later i looked and it had swollen again. There is no scab or opening to the...

I have one quail chick that looks like it has dried poop stuck to the tip of one toe. I tried to carefully break it off but it is very hard, and seemed to be causing the bird distress. Now, it is walking fine, but it looked like there was some blood underneath it, so I am thinking now it injured...

Hi BYC! I have this rooster whose middle two is slightly bent and swollen, I noticed it a few days before. It feels hard when I grab it and he seems to not like that. What do you think this could be, gout? Note: he is a red rooster and his leg and skin is very red, so nothing unusual on...

I'll preface this by saying that I did not take any pictures. My 4 year old Plymouth Barred Rock had a swelling between two toes of each foot. After inspection, I found that a wad of dirt and poop had collected in the webbing between 2 of her toes. This was the situation on each foot. I cleaned...

I wasn't able to find anything that quite addressed my problem, so new thread. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I check on her again to see how she's doing. TL;DR: I have a young adult quail with a dislocated toe and mild bumblefoot on the mend. Am I gonna pull this poor baby's toe off putting...

My 1 year old Wyandot has a very bulbous, swollen toe. The scales have fallen off and the skin is pink, and fairly firm. Soaking and cleaning revealed no black scab, so bumblefoot is out. There was a small lesion near the nail, although I don’t know if that came after the injury or before...

In another post, I told how I thought my rooster toe had frostbite... maybe. (First pics) The toe tip was black underneath and the toe was swollen. I was content to let it do as it would and hopefully fall off. Update: It's been in the 40's to low 50's past few days, and I get home from work to...

My rooster, (Big Caramel) had a swollen toe. I thought it was either from him hurting it jumping off roost in morning, or it got frostbit. Now over 2 weeks later, and toe is still swollen but it hasn't spread to rest of foot. Toe tip seems shrunken and turning black underneath. I soaked it in...

Hi, I was bathing one of my hens 5 days ago when I discovered her toenail was yellow, with a brown tip on the end. It is shorter than her other nails (perhaps she broke it? But there was no bleeding), and she also has scabs underneath. The scabs look like an early case of bumblefoot, and I'm...

One of my ducks, Goose, lost a back toenail at some point. It was there one day and completely gone the next with no signs of injury - no limping, favoring, or blood. I only noticed because I was holding him and checking his feet. Since that discovery the nail has attempted to regrow multiple...

is this bumble foot?? Has anyone had this happen? Or know why just 1 toe? Or what i can do to get her better faster? Update day 4: So today I think I figured out her issue. There is a spot under her nail that is red and everytime I gently touched it she made a tiny low pitched squeal, like it...

I’ve been having some issues with one of my duck’s foot. It started about 2 weeks ago - Mav started limping after another duck, Luna, attempted to mount her (ducks are now separated til my males stop being hormonal). separated Mav for the night so she’d be encouraged to just rest. after a few...

Hello! My hen managed to get her toenail caught on a shelf and, while trying to get loose, completely ripped off her toenail, leaving only the quick of her nail remaining. There was very little blood and she didn't break or cut the quick or have any other injuries. She is walking more gingerly...

I noticed a few days ago my hen Fauna has a lump on top of her toe, but I couldn't tell what it was so I sprayed some oregano on it and waited to see if it'd shrink. I came back after the weekend and its a bit bigger now, so I did more research. I don't think its bumblefoot, I can't find a scab...

Widdle is a 15 week old chicken we rescued at 1 week, not sure breed, yesterday I noticed her limping. I’ve always been checking her feet because she likes to lie down in the grass in general, so I’m certain this is new behavior. In looking at her toes one seems twisted , and the joint swollen...

My young rooster broke his toe. I tried to splint it awhile back but I made him limp more so I took it off. It started to turn black. I was told it would just fall off but it hasn’t and now it is very swollen around the black part. I’m wondering if he is pecking at it?? Please help!! What do I do?!

Hi! My family just recently got chickens and everything has been going well except for I just noticed this strange thing coming out of one of my hens toe. (See pictures). I tried looking it up but couldn’t find any answers so I decided to make my own thread. Info about her: - Approx 6 weeks...
