toes

Hi everyone. looking for advice. I have an almost one day old chick with its middle and outside toes fused together. The left one looks like more of a webbed to but the right looks like the toes almost come together. It is lively, eating, drinking and getting around ok, just a touch clumsy...

I’ve got 25 6-week-olds and about half of them have severely curled toes. I haven’t seen this previously with our incubated eggs. Reading online brings up so many possibilities of what went wrong so I wonder if anyone here can help narrow down the culprit? My flock consists of a Marans rooster...

Hi! It's been a while since I've been in here, and I was curious for people's opinions of my boy's nails. Without looking closely they seem fine (and honestly, my initial instinct is that they are) but I'm new to having ducks so I want to have other other people's opinions. I never really...

Hello! I just recently had my first hatch! The eggs are button quail (so tiny!) and I bought 15 eggs online from a reputable farm that wasn’t too too far away. They got here next day shipping and went right into the bator. I kept the humidity steady at 40-45% until lockdown on day 14, but had...

I’m new to hatching, and I incubated 15 button quail eggs recently. 9 hatched, and out of those 9, 2 of them have crooked toes. I think my humidity was off during lockdown. How will this affect breeding? They are pets so I likely won’t breed but if I decide to, how likely is it that the babies...

I've been trying to figure out the issue with one of my Polish hens toes for several weeks now and - after first thinking & treating for SLM with little improvement - my reading here (BLESS YOU ALL for sharing your experiences) is making my think this is frostbite... Just hoping to get some...

This thread is for oddballs that have popped up during breedings, whether it's a weird color chick/Adult bird, funky comb, toes(Polydactly), egg color, etc... Here's one of mine to start. Big Fatty, she's pure Malay, but doesn't look like it, she's just odd. Both parents are full sized, she...

Hi everyone, I used to have an account here a while back but seemed to have lost my login information. I have a rooster who is a week into recovery from a bumblefoot scab removal on both feet, a vet performed the scab removal. Rooster was born around 2020 (two years old), breed is a polish...

My quail seems to have swollen back claws (toes on the back of their feet) I’m not sure if the nails have come off or that the skin has swollen around them but they are not visible and the claw seems to be rather swollen compared to my other quails, what could this be and how would I fix it? I...

So, I have a chicken named Greensleeves - she's named after a variety of rose that's naturally greenish. We also call her Rosie. I never noticed this previously when she was a chick, but now that they're all grown up (and I'm not sure of where to put this thread!) I noticed something strange...

So I recently noticed one of my chicks has the middle and outer toes on both feet webbed together. Is this something I should be concerned about? I've seen people say they cut it but she seems to be doing fine with it as is. She's only 2-3 weeks old so I mean maybe it'll become an issue later on...

Hello. I have 2 ducks 1 drake and 2 geese. The other day i saw my drake (Draco) was limping. When i examined him i found one of his toenails had been caught on something and was almost torn right off. I brought him inside to trim it but by the time i had the scissors ready the toe was gone. He...

Ine if my Silkie chicks about a month old was attacked by some thing yesterday I found her sitting down shaking with blood all over her back and scabbed up a little bit no feathers. So I brought her in and cleaned her up and she just fell asleep . I brought her outside today and noticed she...

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...

One of my hens feet looked deformed. I took a closer look and there were some kind of growths between her toes. I lifted on one of them and it came off! Now there is a big open hole. I cleaned it good and put antibiotic cream in it. I also put the blue spray on it. What is it? And what can I do...

Our rooster Elvis is about 2 years old now and since he’s a bantam, he has weird feet. He seemed to have sometimes had a limp when he walks but it never stopped him from getting around. We noticed that one of his toes is all swollen with a weird scab on the bottom. (See photos). As you can see...

Hello. I recently took in two 4 day old sebastopols and theyre doing great overall. However, Bill has curled toes and i was wondering how bad its going to affect him as he grows or gets older? He gets around just as well as his brother Ted, but does seem to be a tad bit more clumsy. I know...

Hello! A young sweet little polish bantam was dropped off at our place. I’ve raised many chickens but she’s got a few things going on that I’ve never seen before. 1) sleeps with head hanging down 2) has brown scaly stuff between toes 3) beak doesn’t close fully - I don’t believe this is really...

I just finished hatching a bunch of Coturnix Quail chicks (hatched 17th-18th) and two of them seem to have a curled foot (both seem to be the left foot). This is the first hatch I have had with this egg source. In previous hatches of my own eggs I have only had a curled foot two to three times...

I have a small flock of 4 hens. I noticed a couple days ago that my red had a couple toes that looked smaller than usual. I assumed something had tried to get her from under the coop & figured she’d be ok..Today I went out & found her, along with another hen both dead. Of the two left, another...
