Hey y'all,
My rooster has been dealing with this foot infection for close to a year. Last summer I noticed it, it was a small red bump that seemed to cause discomfort.
It seems to be festering and getting worse and I'm not sure the best course of action.

Hello,
When checking on my hen today, I noticed some patches on her comb. Can't tell what the cause is, but they seem sensitive.

About 30 minutes ago I noticed he is lowering his head, acting weak. He's not very alert...
Hello,
Today my rooster was attacked by a wild animal. He has a huge neck Injury, his face is swollen, one eye is bleeding, and he lost a lot of blood. I found him standing in the snow with his head lowered, not moving. He could have been this way for up to 2 hours, as we were not home.
I...
