I dont think 12 hours is long enough to cause tissue death... I had a silkie that was wrapped up in fishing line for over a week and we had to cut it out of her and she was fine.

(we were on vacation when the pet sitter noticed it)

I agree maybe bruising... keep an eye on it to see if it spreads

Meghalu, I found her with the string 2 days ago. It's been that color since yesterday morning. I just had to put a bandage back on it, bc she was picking at her skin and made it bleed. Minniechickmama, I don't know what she is. I was told Partridge Rock, then Dark Cornish, then something else but I can't remember. She has no comb, is super friendly, very small and her tail sticks straight up.

I have DCs and love them. She looks like a darker one, and I think the dark color on the fronts of her legs will fade out, although, DCs are supposed to have yellow legs.

Since the swellling has gone down, I would suggest warm foot soaks. It looks more like bruising to me.

Awesome name by the way

Wahoo! That is fine with me, if it is just bruised.

Did the liquid that your DH drained out smell?

No. It was clear. There was no weird smell. And this is gross, but I looked at the paper towel and made sure it didn't smell.

 

[sadies chicks]

That's not gross! that is being responsible!!

ok then I really don't think it is gangrene, that stuff apparently stinks

 

[cbrown86]

Good. I hope not. She is one of my favorite chickens.
