Rotting feet? Feet were frozen☹️Please Help!

I would consider worming, since worms can damage the intestinal wall and food absorption could be affected. Or take some fresh droppings in to a vet for a fecal float test to see what worms might be present. Valbazen and SafeGuard are effective wormers, and both require a 2 week egg withdrawal after treatment.

Ok, so I think I now what I'm going to do with my roo. I am going to continue to spray healing spray on his feet, keep him in the house, and make sure at all times has food and water. If he acts like he is in pain he"ll get culled. I'll give you all an update when his feet start looking better or worse. Thank you all for the help! I really appreciate it!

If any of you want an updated here's on. On his left leg he's going to loose spure down, on the right it looks like just his foot. He's been outside a couple times, 50 degree weather.

Sorry that it seems he may lose both feet. Please post udated pictures as the feet change. Since the tissue is dead, he may not feel much pain, but I would consider his future ability to get around and live normally. There are a few threads about chickens who have lost feet, and who were favorite family pets who lived with considerable assistance. Some people just let them live or not without special consideration. He may not be able to roost or normally mate, and sometimes others will pick on a disabled chicken. But I hope he has a good outcome.

I am not sure if you have mentioned your location, but I would try to prevent this from happening again to another chicken. I have to be careful not to spill water when I am filling bowls in freezing weather inside the coop. I have electric water bowls, and if a chicken steps into one, that can be dangerous.

It's never been this cold were I live. In winter it's usually 20 to maybe 1 degrees, this year it stayed -20 for 2 weeks.. Usually frostbite is not a problem.

I'm gonna try to make him prosthetic feet.

There are a number of pictures and threads about prosthetic legs for lame chickens or ones missing a foot. Here is one from a local school:

Can I give him a bath to get all the dust off this skin and feathers?
