A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Six kids

Sorry about the "fahr aints", I hear they are awful and hard to get rid of. Regarding the chick, I wish I had an idea what the problem is with its foot.

This would be a first for me but kinda reminds me of frost bite but we haven't got down that low. It's feet were funky when i moved it from the incubator on day two or three. It look like it had fluid filled feet kinda reminded me of blisters. Now the toes look dead and dried out. I not sure there much I can do to it.

Sorry about your chicks, I'm afraid fire ants and your chicks feet are above my pay grade, so I'm not any help. I would be angry too, such a waste.

okay called around in April to get pricing for the pigs to be butchered was told they would and pricing but they said no appointment needed. Now telling me they no longer process and one over an hr away does but wants .95lb and 50 dollar for pigs. The kill fee normal but oh no on the per pound fee thats .30 cents more per pound and they booked till end of august. Waiting for one more to get back with me but frustration is mounting.

here some better pictures of the chicks feet. I dont know what to do it gets around so far no others got this problem i am so lost on it.

 

[thistlebloom]

Looks like it could be some sort of bacterial issue maybe?

 

[Bruce]

Are they looking any better each day?

I haven't check today yet but didn't appear to be improving that i could see. Ds2 has an infected toe did a video call with Dr so he got proscribed meds. They are only letting patient and one other person in well i have three other little ones and one can't be watch by anyone and other two would be fine but don't want the exposed to anything after we just finally got over the stomach bug seriously no that i am good. It hung out for over a week. Ds1 still some having some issues but is improving. Need to get on with the chores thankfully I hadn't seperated then kids from mom so no need to milk. I need to pasturize lots of milk and need to finish house cleaning i try to get some more outside chore done when ds2 takes a nap i don't want him running around to much on that foot because he screams in pain. He current doped up on Tylenol. But still hurts.

No improve ment but it is getting around better... that's about the only improvement i see the toes still look very unhealthy.
