Hi all,
i have a 8 year old chicken who earlier this year had heat stroke and then maggots in the same week... she is all better now but ever since then she has had curled toes and has trouble walking.
What i have seen is that her hock(pretty sure) is enlarged on both feet. Her actual toe nails are curled and her toes are forced to curl because of the nails. I have tried to make shoes out of cardboard but she will peck/eat at anything that is near her. I also give rooster booster vitamins in their water.
Are there any ideas on how to fix this... she is pretty old and because of her feet cant move around too much... she usually uses her wings to help her move.
She is constantly eating and drinking so it doesn’t have too much of an effect on her
I will try to attach pictures later
