Foot deformity

[Chey1214]

He or she seems to be getting around ok. This is a chick I found “dead on my coop floor” she got out of the brooder some how and big chicks messed with her. I was able to bring her back so she is special. I didn’t notice her feet at that time. It’s hard saying if she is a pullet or cockerel since I think Millie’s have red combs…?

Should I do something for her/his foot?

She is banded so I can keep an eye on what bird I saved, since she is special.

It appears they picked/ate some of its toes off and it's healed over.

There really isn't much to do as nothing appears to be an open wound. As long as he/she getting around okay, it will learn to live with the handicap.

It would be good to check those feet regularly, depending on how she walks and kinds of surfaces, bumblefoot could be an issue. I'd want to find it early if it happens.

That’s really sad to think about!! But I’m glad he will be ok, I was thinking I could make her a boot somehow. How ever I think she is a he

My Mille fleur d’uccle hen had a lot of spots, while her cockerel mate looked more like yours. I think it is a little cockerel too. My cockerel had some missing toe tips due to frostbite, and looked a little like those toes. He did well for around 6 years before he died.

They do make booties for chickens, might be hard to fit him til he's full grown. You could probably trim them down to fit better where the toes are missing.
