Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

I posted this in the Lavender page, but thought other folks here might want to see it, as well.

The proposed standard of perfection, as presented to and accepted by the APA Standards Committee in January, can be seen here:

Can someone please take a look at my Roo and tell me if you think i can fix his leg or do I just need to put him down?
Thank you for your help. We love our Rooster and really are hoping to save him. He is very friendly with my kids and dogs.

Sorry, something like that I would put mine down... joint being stressed improperly can cause hairline fractures in the leg and it can go septic from there... had it happen before... :/

Personally I would take him to the vet. They may be able to set his leg. Especially if he is a favorite.

Curled toes is usually a sign of a vit/mineral deficiency. I think it is a B vitamin, not sure. Look at these sites under vitamin/mineral deficiencies and rickets to find what it could be then I would treat him that way. It could take several weeks to see improvement. If he doesn't improve then I would consider putting him down. http://www.thepoultrysite.com/diseaseinfo/
