LOSS OF TOE NAILS

[anna oftderTurm]

MY TOP ROASTER HAS LOST 2 TOE NAILS ON EACH FOOT. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE FROST BITE OR BUMBLEFOOT, BUT HE SITS A LOT IN THE YARD, HE WILL STILL ROOST. DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS?

By saying "MY TOP ROOSTER" I assume that you have other roosters. Roosters will fight one another for the top spot in a flock and if there is chicken wire in the way they will cut their own toes off or snatch their toe nails out by hitting the pen or run wire.
