There is no vet around here that cares for chickens.My recommendation would be a vet at this point.
I am sorry he is not doing well.
We have penicillin.Are you able to contact a vet for any sort of medication or treatment?
I agree. I just didn't know if I could save him. If he dies he dies., but I don't want him to suffer. I had frostbite before in a chicken. All his toes fell off.I have no experience with such a case of frostbite and it might be worth saving him but without a vet in the state he is in I'm not sure he has good odds.
Smelly feet means the flesh is rotting and that usually leads to an infection which is not survivable without serious medical help.
Not sure my post helps as I am not experienced enough but I know what I would have to do. I wouldn't let mine suffer if it got to this.
Ive had a roo that lost all his toes and he could barely walk so I did cull him and the others were picking on him and he couldnt get away fast enoughShould he be put down? He seams to still fill his feet a little.
I don't worm my bantams. I'd like to keep them organic. Skinny like his brest bone is very noticeable. He's very under weight. When he was out with the flock he pushed through to get food. He is eating and drinking good still. He's always been very skinny but not as skinny as he is now.What @Eggcessive posted was exactly what I was going to say, so I won't make you read it twice. I will say I've seen cases that bad where the chicken has lived, but a lot rode on whether of not the infection was going to spread and weaken it to the point it couldn't recover. It does look like he's absolutely going to lose some toes, but your care will be a big part of the odds of his outcome.
When you said he's skinny... is he not eating well in general or just lately? And if he's well fed, when's the last time you wormed? (I'm not sure if worming is a good idea right now, that's something I'd definitely ask the vet or a more experienced member)
