Any updates? Interested how this guy is still getting along.

Same here @Camwick

I would also love an update. Our Peggy is only a few days into a seemingly similar scenario. Thanks so much for your willingness to share your experience.

I am so happy to report he is doing amazingly well. The “danglers” are off and he has adapted to his new “feet” beautifully. He walks and roosts with almost no difficulty at all. His wounds are continuing to heal nicely. He is back amongst the flock and seems unaffected. I am so relieved we didn’t assume the worst and end him. I owe you all a very genuine thank you. I will add pictures of him on the roost and his feet in the morning when the sun comes up.

That is great! Never ceases to amaze me what these birds can make it through! Anxious for the pics!

Thanks for the update. Glad that he is doing well. I have been sharing your thread for several of the people who have been dealing with frostbite recently, so the new pictures will be great.

Thanks for the pics. It looks like he might have a couple more toes that might come off. Isn’t is amazing how well he is doing. This is a good thread to document the progression of frostbite. Hoping for continued success and healing. Edited for spelling.

I have an 85 year old friend who accidentally shot her big toe off with her shotgun, and she's proving people can also get along with fewer toes. She and your roo would have lots to talk about.
