Kit Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi all Firstly thank you to everybody and their posts which have been extremely helpful to a novice like me. We collected our hens today, 2 Miss Pepperpots and 1 gingernut ranger chosen by my 3yr old daughter and her friend. I have one question gingernut on both feet have bent toes, the middle toe bends at an angle to the side. Is this normal and if not should I be concerned...she seems to be able to walk on it without too many problems. Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 heres a pic with my 2rs old daughter and crunchie the chicken thanks Debbie for photo. Megan's feet are just like Crunchie's! Guess she is staying then and I won't have to take her back. they are 16 weeks old. I am feeding layers pellets with Bokashi and water with a garlic glove in it. do I need to do anything else? I am quite happy to do more for them. Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Pimlott Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It is a incubation problem caused by incorrect temp and or humidity amoungst other things, it is not genetic & wont hinder the bird in anyway. You said you where having birds from us Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
