Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I just noticed on the Top of my ducks right foot is a blister/bubble. Shes not limping or appear to be in any pain. Its not an open wound. I never noticed it before. Do you have any idea what it might be? Thanks, ~Julie~

It could be a wart. If you see it getting worse,bigger, or that your duck appears to be in pain, go see a vet. They can put your duck on oral or topical antibiotics.

I would put antibiotic ointment on it every day for two weeks and see if that reduces the size. jessiduck rightly points out that it could also be a fungal infection, in which case antifungal creme might work.

Generally I prefer a topical ointment over trying to open something like that. And yes, do watch it.
