What keeps happening to my rooster feet?
Our take
Have you ever found yourself scratching your head over your rooster's peculiar foot problems? Meet your 1-year-old black Australorp and golden-laced Wyandotte cross, a feathered friend you lovingly bred and hatched yourself. While his parents have consistently produced robust and well-tempered chicks, this little guy stands apart with his foot issues. As a free-range rooster, he enjoys the great outdoors, but you’ve wisely taken precautions to keep him safe and clean since noticing the injuries. So, what’s going on? Is he inadvertently causing these problems on his own, or could there be an underlying issue at play? Let’s dive into the world of rooster feet to uncover the mystery and help your feathered friend strut without a hitch!
| | this is a 1-year-old black Australorp golden laced Wyandotte cross, I bred him and hatched him myself and I have paired his parents together multiple times because they consistently throw babies that do well free range are always very healthy and well tempered none of his siblings have ever had any issues like this, he is the only chicken I have that is having feet problems like this he is free range although since I noticed the injuries I did put him up to try to keep his feet clean, could he be doing this to himself or is there something maybe causing it?

- Help with chicken healthWe think this Australorp chicken is getting picked on by our rooster (bantam). They are all about 3 years old. The eye on the other side of the black hen is normal. I see a little bit of dried blood on the rooster Rooster has picked on her in the past but we thought it stopped. 7 chickens to 1 rooster. Looking for options and suggestions please. First 6 months of raising chickens and still learning. Chickens came from a good friend farm. Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/Gameboy112233 [link] [comments]
- What’s wrong with my roosters leg 😢For context, he started limping about a year ago and slowly, I noticed his leg got swollen. He would limp a bit, but it was manageable. Eventually, it started swelling up, even thicker to the point you see now and he is at the point he doesn’t even use it at all. I thought maybe it was broken and had kept him isolated in a place in the coop where he could not jump up on anything for a month or so, but that doesn’t seem to help. I’ve tried reaching out to many different organizations near me and nobody can help me. submitted by /u/CYouChai [link] [comments]
- A little extraSo my daughter noticed today that one of our new chicks has a little extra toes on each foot. The little fella doesn't have any problems getting around, but I was wondering if this could become an issue as it gets older. Is there a safe remedy for this? And just like my last post, I've never run into anything like this with all the other chickens I have and had before. Just saw on Google a question that read, "What's the difference between a houdan and a polish chicken?" The answer, "Houdans have five toes." So my wife thinking that her houdan was being a little extra, nope just being a houdan, lol. submitted by /u/adultfuntimes [link] [comments]
