we have two 6 week old buff Cochin chicks . one seems to have had its toes attacked by something. we have mice in the byre and someone suggested it could be them Ive never heard of this before as anyone else. Ive treated with topical and injected antibiotics because the wound looked infected. if not mice what Else could cause this wound.

Perhaps it got it jammed between a couple of bits of wood.  I think no-one else has replied because, like me, they've never had it happen.  Hope it gets better quickly.

I know hens are a bit dim, but I can't imagibne one sitting still to be eaten alive! Iagree with Annie - probably and accident.

i hope so. the idea of flesh eating mice is horror movie material. and were worried about foxs
