No actually this one is about 4 mos old. We got it from my hubby's uncle as a companion to a Canadian goose baby but the goose didn't make it. The chicken isn't walking weird, just each of its toes are crooked at a 90 degree angle at the joint.
probably the mesh wire on the floor of the bator, toes got stuck as a baby and were never fixed
Did this just happen or has it always been like that? If it just happened I would think maybe a vitamin deficiency of some kind. If it hatched that way it could be vitamin deficiency, genetic, to high of humidity during incubation....
well i never noticed it before. The other 2 are about a month younger and their feet are fine. Can it be fixed? Note this one did survive a dog attack. We had it in a smaller chicken cage while we were cleaning out the bigger coop with another chicken (feathered foot) and a big German shepherd attacked the cage and killed our feathered foot. We checked in the other chicken and it didn't seem to have any injuries but... Now we see that.
At its current age I seriously doubt it could be easily fixed.
will it be ok? If it's walking fine with the crooked toes and still able to roost it won't hurt out right?
if its getting around fine i wouldnt worry at all
If it's getting around fine and doesn't seem bothered or in pain from it then it should be fine.
You acknowledged him!!
Duckling hasn't done more than look inside the incubator. If you want to talk goats milk recipes, we've used ours for soap, cheese, and even making icecream.
Our pgymies don't eat much and are tiny, but I suspect we will only be getting about 1/4th of a gallon per day from them. We have a spanish goat, that's supposed to be a better producer. She's 2-3x their size though.
I'm a fan of nubian's, but they don't sell well here, since most people want meat goats, and I just wanted milking goats!
As to the baking and cheese cloth, I have no idea!
