Yes...wrapped tight, but it has continued to seep blood all day.  The vet said it probably would, but not to remove his bandage for a couple of days.  He's very lame, and he's been laying down a lot today, taking weight off of it.

I agree.

That's the ticket! Go spend that $13 on a good thermometer/hydrometer combo.

I have 15 Anconas, some poofy top ducks (what are they called again?) and some Indian runner babies.  My mom is going to visit my sister,  who lives about 15 miles from Estes hatchery. She's picking them up.   My babies hatch this coming Wednesday, and for once, I'm not on duty!  wee.gif

 

It'll be the easiest hatch ever.

 

Iain, sorry, didn't see that!  I need to call them again, becasue she never did e-mail me.  She said they'd be good though. 



Crested. :)
