Seriously though, I found another little chicken that got over the fence. And it has a broken foot now. This is the second bird in two months I have found like this. The first one had two broken feet. I reset them as best I could and keep her in a cage for a month till she was screaming to get back out. She's out there free ranging with the rest, hobbling around but doing ok.
The one I found day before yesterday has only one broke foot but isn't doing too well.
Both look like something tries to eat their feet or at least bit them on the feet.
I'm about to put up the graphic pics so here's you chance to say bye and not look.
This is the little Peckerhead with the broken foot I'm dealing with today.
And here is his foot.
Other than my MIL that died of gangrene, I have none, zero, no experience with it. All the pics I googled, appeared to look like black rotting flesh. I am hoping this is just some pretty severe bruising.
Any advise will be appreciated.
PS the other bird's feet went totality black for a while, but never green like this.
