In the Brooder
Good evening everyone. I'm hoping for some advice on what to do about our rooster's foot. We were gifted Macho, our rooster, over the Christmas holidays. However, we quickly discovered that he was suffering with what appeared to be frostbite (he previously lived in the mountains in Pennsylvania). He has since lost two toes on one foot leaving some bone exposed. It appears that he is not in pain now that the toes fell off. My husband and my stepdaughter have done all that they can to nurse his foot with daily iodine cleanings, spraying with Veteriscyn Antimicrobial poultry care and applying antibiotic ointment. They tried to save his toes, but, it was too late. He is eating and staying hydrated. Surprisingly, he's moving about and doing his duty in watching over the girls.
Advice on what to do about the exposed bone is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Lillian
