I have a hen who must’ve got frostbite on her feet over the winter. She was acting normal until a week ago when one of my other hens was attacking her so I quickly scooped her up to check her out and saw her foot was bleeding and coming off!! Her whole foot is black and of the other foot only her toes are black. I feel so bad for her. I separated her into her own pen and now a week later the foot is almost completely off and a bit bloody. Her toes on her other foot haven’t started to fall off yet. She has a hard time balancing as I can imagine it is sore but other than that she acts fine. My question is should I be giving her something for infection? Or painkillers? Also I’m worried when one foot falls off and only the toes on the other, will she have trouble being lopsided? Tia
