URGENT-- frozen feet!

[fur-mum]

Poor baby! I'm so sorry. It sounds like you've gotten great advice, so I would just keep doing what you're doing. Hopefully since they're getting warmer now, any tissue damage will be superficial and she'll heal quickly.

ETA: Prayers!

Oh, good idea. I don't really need it anyways.
I think the one leg is just closer to my body and therefore in shadow. They look the same in person.

Her toenails look pink. Looks like circulation and that's what will make them better. Nature is pretty good at getting chickens and us better. Sometimes she's slow but steady. Were the legs and feet that dark before?

ETA: I think you can turn down the heat in your house. 85F is kinda high.. KWIM

It's my woodstove. It's too big for my house, and keeps things VERY warm.

Just might be hard for your bird to readapt to the cold. Maybe a gradual reintroduction when she is ready. How's she doing today?

This all just happened this morning, so it's just too soon to tell anything yet... she is uncomfortable, and can't stand.

Baby aspirin I don't know the dosage. I'm sure someone here can tell you.

If you have adult 325 mg aspirins, you can put 1 for each 240 ml of water, and change it often, some sources say 3 times a day so the water doesn’t develop a bad taste. Four 81 mg baby aspirins equal 1 adult 325 mg aspirin. That might help pain and act as an anti-inflammatory.

She's trying to move around a little, but her feet are obviously VERY sore.
My biggest concern is she is REALLY stressed. Should I bring her sister in too? Would a buddy make her happier? The kennel is big enough to accommodate 2 of them for a few days at least, but if Peri needs to be in longer it might be difficult managing a healthy bird confined to such a small area...

Fred is SO sad about her kennel.
