If that does not turn gangrene it might just make a decent peg on it's own. It is ugly but it could be worse. Good Luck..

I was just sitting next to Chrissy, watching her take a bath, when she suddenly jumped out of the bathtub and flew a few feet before crash landing on the floor!! I panicked and checked her legs, but I don't think she hurt anything.... I'm going to keep an eye on the already injured web tho, in case she managed to break something on that side. :/
She's happily preening away now, acting normal and standing fine on the one web. Yeah, thanks for the heart attack, Chrissy birb....

She'd have been done for if she landed badly and broke her other web.

agreed, it looks pretty dead below the joint

I think you're right... If that black part falls off before an infection sets in, I think she has a pretty good chance.

Everyone should google "dry gangrene" and "wet gangrene", but be prepared for disturbing images.

Oh, lovely. :/
I've got another chook also in the sick bay right now, severe blistering from frostbite... Do I need to watch for gangrene on her too?

I just want a completely healthy flock, for once...... Sigh.

Geeze Banti, you're being hammered this month.

I'm really sorry!!! I don't know anything about frost bite, but you've got an enormous support group & hopefully someone can give you some good advice... All I can give you are prayers & virtual hugs.

Hang in there!

Thank you. At least the other hen and the chick are acting a bit better now, so two less chooks to worry over....

I know what you mean, I have 3 indoor roosters because of frostbite. I have another rooster I have to take out of the breeding rotation because the idiot hurt his knee....How does a rooster hurt is knee in a 4x8 cage with a low roost 8 inches off the floor?


Idiot bird! Screwed up my hatching because he is a Klutz! I will be glad when the warmer weather hits here next week, just to give them a chance to heal a tad.

Good Luck!
