Chicken Boots

[Alicrawf914]

I have a silkie that has had deformed feet since hatch. She gets around fine and is perfactly happy, she just walks a little goofy. The way she walks causes issues with the bottom of her feet, bruising and sores. Has anyone ever made or bought permanant booties for their chickens?

Her name is Waddles.

Have you considered reaching out to a university veterinary school? I'm sure there must be one that makes such booties. TV shows highlight prosthetics for all kinds of critters and they usually involve research from some university.

There are chicken booties on Amazon, made with human orthotics materials, but I don't have any idea how useful those would be.

Best wishes for finding a solution for your little Waddles.
