wanted plastic foot for 'Hoppy'

[daijames]

I posted earlier about my turkey poult with string wrapped around its leg,



but I was unsuccessful in getting it all out, he was ok for a couple of weeks then yesterday I noticed his foot hanging off, so I performed an amputation and fitted a bamboo leg,







I need a rubber plastic foot to put on the bottom, she does put weight on the stump, but I reckon gluing a foot on might be even better.

I bet you could make a pretty good prosthetic foot with this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2090149322&pf_rd_i=desktop

Good luck to ya. Will be interested to see what you come up with and how well she does. Pretty cool!

Here's photo of the foot I made, her thigh is turned out so I tried a wide splint between the legs, that didn't work so I tried a narrower one, but she couldn't t stand up so I am hoping she will correct her stance naturally.

I have a hen that got caught in a fence and lost a foot. She gets around fine on just the stump.

The fake foot is a good idea though.

on re-intro with the rest, the Tom almost pecked her to death, isn't nature cruel
