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...
Barred Rock Hen is ~2 years old. Otherwise a very healthy chicken. Swelling is firm, she is able to walk but favors her good foot. Pad looks clean and does not appear to be bumblefoot. Any thoughts on what this could be?
Hi
Two months ago I hatched an emu and it's nails have been growing very fast. The nails are long enough that it is starting to turn one of the toes when it walks because it looks like the nail is too long and it doesn't let the emu run properly. I felt the bottom of the toe and the toe pad is...
We hatched some chicks from our flock about a month ago. I’m not exactly sure which rooster fertilized the Polish egg but it was either a Copper Maran or an Olive Egger. We did not noticed this before now & I feel like we would have as we have put on & changed bands on their legs to help us keep...
My Amearicauna, Joey, has this Orange nail. All her other nails are fine, did she damage this one and it’s healing? I just noticed this i’m not sure how long she’s had it. Should i be worried?
Hi everyone. My Wellsummer came back to the coop with her toe like this a couple weeks ago, she limps and holds her foot up as you can see in the pictures it’s the middle toe and it’s swollen. she stays around the coop all day and is taking it easy, but she’s miserable. what can I do to help...
My sweet Coturnix quail is suddenly limping on one foot. I examined it and found nothing abnormal except that one of the nails on her unused foot is backwards. It’s just the claw part, not the foot. I’m not sure if it was like that before, but she’s really pitiful right now and I’m not sure how...
Hi.
My chick got attacked during the first few days before I separated them and mum to another run. She has been hobbling ever since. I have just noticed today That in fact her toe seems to be broken. Should I do anything about it or just leave them to it? The chick is eatting and drinking well...
We recently got 8 new chicks for raising then selling. We purchased 6 sapphire gems, 1 americauna, and 1 little barred rock. The barred rock seems to have a crooked toe.
2 days ago when we got them was when we noticed it. It looked like she got her middle toe broken when she was in the brooder...
Was hoping someone could help me ! I think my chicken got hit by a car but I’m not sure and I think her bone is sticking out of her toe and I have no idea what to do. She is eating, pooping, standing and I think she can take some steps. I was reading where people amputated toes and I was...
We live in Wisconsin and are experiencing a very cold weather front right now... I have 7 week old chicks who brooded in the (chilly) garage and seemed ready for the cold, so we moved them out to the outdoor (insulated) coop last week around Christmastime. Sadly, one of the girls ended up with...
Help!! I was doing a bumblefoot check on everyone today and noticed Sweet Pea's toe looking really bad. We know she broke off her toe nail recently, and it looked fine at the time, but now it is pretty severely swollen. Does anyone have any home remedies or treatment to help her out or is it vet...
Hello,
About a week ago I noticed a growth near our brown duck's toe, though she doesn't seem to be limping. The lump feels relatively hard, similar to the toe itself. It doesn't seem to be bumblefoot, though I'm soaking in Epsom salts and applying antibiotic ointment as a precaution. They...
I have a chinese painted quail I noticed had a slight limp, even with that she was a pain to catch for a check up so it wasn't causing her mobility problems. When I finally caught her, I noticed she had a cut on her toe and it was swollen and slightly discoloured, as if infected. I gave it a...
So I've had Chester for a little less than five years, and this winter, he ran off to join the neighbor's flock. We thought a coon got him (one of our pullets was taken by a coon a week earlier) so we didn't look too hard.
Apparently, the neighbors took about as much care as you'd expect of an...
Broken or dislocated... She has a toe that is obviously not like the others..bent sideways at a knuckle.. and she has great difficulty walking on it. No other obvious injury to the leg. The others in the flock have been pecking at her so I've isolated her in a covered run. Do I attempt to...
While clipping my little ducks toenails, we accidently cut one a little too short and she started to bleed. We read on here that flour is one of the things that can stop bleeding so we've put that on and she hasn't bled anymore. What can I do to make sure it doesn't get infected. We're changing...
