Poor Kevin. Many years ago, I broke my baby toe on my right foot, so I know it’s absolutely no fun trying to wear one’s regular shoe waiting for it to heal. I hope the rib isn’t too painful. 

Well, it hurts when he takes a deep breath.  So I'm almost sure he cracked a rib.  No other issues with his chest, though - besides the nasty bruise.  That toe is our biggest worry.  It's gonna be hard for him.  He's on his feet a lot at work, so we need to get him some accommodation in place there.

Ow, ow, ow! Poor Kevin! Hope he's doing okay. 

Go get a pair of shoes that match his usual work wear, half size ( maybe a whole size depending on the swelling) and wear the cross matched pair. Mom needed to buy two pair , one in each size, when she broke her toe because the wear on the old pair made the difference obvious.

Poor Kevin it’s no fun when you are hurting. If Kevin can stand it wear 2 socks on the foot the extra padding will help his toe. Kevin might want to keep his foot up on a footstool and don’t let stay on the floor. On his rib area does he or you have a tighter fitting shirt he could wear that to keep his chest area protected. 

Now to help your chickens get some small size window screen or smaller wire opening. And put it on the lower part of the fence that will keep other critters out you can hook to the fence by using zip ties and make it temporary. We had to this to our garden that the rabbits wanted our lettuce. Cheap and fast because since the skunk found the chickens he will be back. 

Some people lock there chickens up at night if you do then another idea is to get a motion activated light the skunk gets in the area the light comes on. They do make battery activated.

so take care of Kevin and yourself.

Bunnies ... cute? Yes.  Evil ... oh, yes they can be.  Bunnies cannot be fully trusted.

Awwww, poor Kevin. I do hope he won't be too uncomfortable while he mends.

Thanks, everybody for the advice and for the well-wishes.  I'll pass them along to Kevin.  He's already under orders to buy a bigger pair of shoes so that toe isn't crowded.  I will also tell his boss, so he's not expecting Kevin to do cartwheels in the aisle of the store.
