Glen66 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi All One of our 2 week old chicks has developed a black end to one of it's toes, approximatley 2mm long with a pink bit 3mm behind it. Has anyone got any idea what it might be? Not sure if it's been pecked, or caught in something. I don't want the toe to fall off!

cluckbok Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hy ya Glen, Welcome to the forum!! Glad you enjoyed the Hen Party on Sat. About the toe, could it be the colours growing on the chick? As long as it's not swollen or looks infected I would have thought should be ok. As long as she's walking on it as normal as well. Keep an eye on her. Someone else may be along in a mo who may have experienced this before. Got your PM Graham will reply soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen66 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Looks blackish like a deep blood red colour, and the claw is a bit off centre. Might have got caught in something..... I should have the Mini-Chicken cam up and running tomorrow..... If the chick stays still for long enough I try and get a picture of the toe up. Saturday was really good, thanks for the time and the info, hope you'll be doing the advanced course soon. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
