Why do chickens fall on their feet?
What to do if chickens fall on their feet❓
✅ First, stop panicking 😉.
✅ Then check the conditions of maintenance, namely the floor surface (are there any protruding parts, nails, splinters, glass, wire). When caged, inspect the quality of weaving, the uniformity of the wire, the size of the mesh.
✅ The next step is an examination of the extremities. If there are wounds or cuts on the paws, treat them with an antiseptic and isolate the individual with the wound from the rest of the herd.
❕ If there is a suspicion of rickets (curvature of the limbs, growth delay, abnormal development of the keel), then it is necessary to administer special medical drugs with a high content of vitamin D and phosphorus.
❕ If the veterinarian diagnosed arthritis, then it is time to start antibiotics, the exact dosage and duration of administration will be indicated in the veterinary pharmacy.
Important❗️: when treating brood stock with antibiotics, it is forbidden to eat eggs and meat for 1 month after taking the drugs. Also, during treatment, poultry eggs are not placed in an incubator or placed under a hen, because antibiotic therapy can negatively affect the development of a chicken embryo.
It is always easier to prevent chickens from falling on their feet than to treat them ❗️😉
✅ The key points in prevention are high-quality feeding with professional feed and correct maintenance technology.
