Imagine a world where a tiny chicken steals hearts on social media, strutting around in a wardrobe of adorable shoes. This unlikely star is Nubz, a Malaysian Serama chicken who lost his toes to leg scale mites.
With unwavering care, his owner Meech Davignon nursed him back to health, affectionately dubbing him “Nubz” due to his short toes. But Nubz’s journey was far from ordinary. Davignon noticed his struggles on hard surfaces and remembered a pair of unused dog slippers. To her surprise, they proved to be the perfect mobility aid.
As Nubz’s confidence grew, so did his shoe collection. From Sunday shoes to blue suede wonders, Nubz became a fashion icon on TikTok. Packages from well-wishers poured in, filled with dinosaur claw boots, plush booties, and even sandals.
Davignon lovingly displays Nubz’s shoebox collection, each new arrival greeted with a celebratory TikTok video. Among his favorites are a pair of stylish Ugg-like boots, which enhance his mobility even further.
Nubz’s fame extended beyond his wardrobe. Diagnosed with degenerative disks in his neck, he received avian acupuncture, thanks to the support of his TikTok followers. Despite his current wheelchair situation, Davignon is confident that Nubz will soon be back to his playful self.
With over 60 pairs of tiny shoes and an unwavering love for life, Nubz has become a beacon of hope and joy on social media. His story reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find happiness and friendship in the most unexpected places.
