madchickenlady Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 So, this is Hoppy's foot at 5 days old after I put a 'shoe' on him/her for 2 days. He/she is getting around fine, but obviously the toes are not going to fully straighten. Other than looking odd, will it matter? I have one pekin girl with fused toes and she manages ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Gah! Why can't I post photos to this forum?!?! Just get people to click this link to see the picture . I'm sure all will be fine, the chick will simply adapt. Both my Pekins have really long toe nails, which curl round, and they do fine.

madchickenlady Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Oh, thank you Andrew! I don't know why I can't work out the photo posting He/she seems to geta round ok. I hope it continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I think all you can do is keep an eye and possibly think again if it starts troubling her. I had to take my salmon faverolle girl in for an operation today to amputate her fifth toe that was curled under her foot. She's a year old now and it had only just started to trouble her.
