Roster with no legs, prosthetics? Cull?

[Bird fanatic]

I have a rooster which lost both of his legs to frostbite he can kind of move around on his nubs but not very well he still eats and drinks he still looks happy he crows is there any suggestions on how to make prosthetics or should I just cull him I would feel bad to cull him though because he still has good life so I just need info. thank you in advance.

I had a feetless hen for 3 years, very happy and friendly girl. If you are okay taking care of a handicapped chicken then you go right ahead! If you feel he is suffering, that's your call. Personally, I think he'd live a happy life just how he is.

Tough call. He looks to be getting around ok. As a plus he probably can't be an ass. Special needs.

Oh wow. Pour little guy. He looks good. I guess it depends on how much work and TLC your willing to give him if you keep him around. Does his little nubs get raw from walking around. I mean scooting?

I keep pads on them so he does not rid them raw and I disinfect them every week or so I have in a large cage for the nights and let him out under supervision in the Day

I live in Nebraska and had 2 chickens that lost both their feet. Accidents happen sometimes, they dump their water or refuse to roost.
