Chick with fused toes

[CozyCove]

Did she even squeak?
I'll bet she was over it pronto.

She was protesting about having her foot immobilized but no, not much reaction to the actual cut. I’m sure there was a pinch of pain but better than a lifetime of fused toes with the claw of one digging into the other!

She’s walking on it fine. It’s dry, no open wound. Eating and drinking too. I treated her with homeopathy for pain/trauma and used frankincense oil on the wound. Watching her closely, but she seems to be doing really well. Luckily the membrane was super thin.

Well done.

hi! found your thread. i have a FBCM chick (is it a breed thing?!) with the same problem. planning to perform chick podiatry surgery tomorrow when my paramedic husband is home! i have cayenne - corn starch - and yarrow. hoping everything goes smoothly.

and i do wonder if it’s a breed thing?! attaching some pics because pics are always fun!

PS. she’s spicy. not even a week old and SHE BITES!! hoping the attention and constant playing with my daughters teaches her not to nip the fingers that feed her she’s definitely a spicy one. attaching a pic of her sister as well. any name suggestions welcome, as well!

I am going to do the same procedure on a chick. Did you use arnica for pain?
