Hi
a few weeks ago I noticed a huge bump on my Barred Rocks head. I looked just like it was bumble foot (It had a scab/piece of dirt on it, was swelled etc.) but just not on her foot. Before this I had read quite a lot about bumble foot and how you can remove it at home. So I tried this and in the pictures of the surgery the inside of the foot looks very hard and stiff and the "Kernel" (or the scab) on the foot can just cut around and removed. I tried scraping off the scab which opened up the wound but inside the bump was filled with brownish gray fluid with the consistency of melted ice cream. It smelled horrible like a bunch of chicken poop was just stuffed into her head and left there. I scraped almost all of the grey stuff out and now there is just a huge pocket on the side of her head. I did wrap some gaze and medical tape around her head, but I'm not sure what to do now. Please Help!!!
