SAB Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Delilah, my splash maran looks to have sore feet. She is a mostly white chicken and her feet are naturally a pink colour, but they are looking a darker shade of pink today and look sore between her toes. It has been very icy/snowy here recently (like most places) and all our birds have been wandering around playing in it but all the other's seem fine with no problems with feet, other than poor Delilah. Any recommendations as to what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sounds like chilblains to me. Unless the skin is broken there's not a busting lot you can do except for keeping her off the snow and ice. Poor girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks Claret for prompt reply. I suspected as much. I have my Cube run inside a much bigger run (so I can isolate turkeys from chickens when necessary) so I will confine her there till weather better as it is covered and has lots of nice soft hemcore in.

The Dogmother Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That'll probably do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 When one of ours had sore feet I put Sudocrem on them and it seemed to help a little. Not sure what it would taste like if they tried eating though. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I had wondered about Sudocrem Scottie - worth a go - probably taste horrible as you say, but that would not necessarily be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
