Sultan after frostbite

[ford8n]

I have a 9 month old white sultan named Siri that just lost both her feet to frostbite. She lives as a house pet and is learning to get around without her legs.

Siri's story:

Siri lost both of her legs to frost bite at the beginning of the year. Siri is a perfect example of chickens having lots of personality. She is just a big sweetie that likes peach yogurt. If you are looking for an awesome breed of chicken I would highly recommend the White Sultan.


I will keep the updates coming,

Eli

P.S. Does anyone have ideas for some treats I can give Siri until the snow melts?

I'm sorry Siri lost her legs to frostbite, but it is nice that she has a place in your home. It is amazing that she is learning to get around. It would be great to get updates on her progress.

Here is a picture and a video

Wow, she gets around pretty decently. It looks like it was her feet and just some of the leg that was affected. I wonder if something could be made to help protect the end of her legs and help a bit with stability like out of silicone. I heard about something like that on TV for a duck who lost his feet. Siri does look like a sweet chicken, and her personality shines.

Awww.....she looks like a real sweet heart! And yes, she does pretty good getting around! She may get better as time goes on. But you might look into something as Scratch n Peck mentioned that might help with her feet.

What a sweety! Thanks for sharing!!

turns out Siri is a rooster. She started crowing today.

I guess you will have your own personal alarm clock at your bedside!

Now you can call him Sir Siri. I love having roosters around. I hope Siri is still getting around okay.

He has been doing great. When I let him outside, he follows me everywhere. If if start up the tractor, he flies into my lap wanting to go for a ride.
