Life has been very hectic the last couple years. We have had fox problems (lost 6 girls), health issues, unexpected events, and lost income. Life has ben a mess, and everything seems to be falling apart. My chickens, are still doing well, and other than being fenced in now... they are happy...
I found a lump in my nesting box this morning. It looks like a cooked egg almost. It feels like a boiled egg. I have never seen this before. Anyone have a clue? Ignore the dirt on it, I dropped it.
Good to hear Russell (love the name, btw. For some reason, it seems to fit a bird) is doing better and back in action. Amazing how resilient these guys really are. We worry ourselves into a frenzy, and they just want mealworms. Lol. Ty for posting!
Good news! I always like it when there's a happy ending. Healing happens but, all in all he's good to go! Happy for him. Thanks again for the update. He's a lucky boy to have a human that cares for him like that.

Do you have styptic powder?? It's a bleed stop powder. I have used it. If it is wrapped, I would definitely keep her in a quiet area to heal. Butterfly tape sometimes works well. Otherwise, not being an expert, the other suggestions are good as well. Please do keep us posted??
