We have an ordinance but am looking to change it - any help or support would be appreciated. Currently it is required you have 5 acres which is ridiculous. Please let me know any info or help you can be, thanks!
I know this is old but did the vet say what caused this? I had a hen with the exact same thing. We lanced it ourselves and cleaned it out but apparently didn't get all the infection out. Probably due to inexperience. But she eventually died. I searched the internet for solutions and found...

Yes, keeping them warm maybe more for me. I have a heated water bowl for them so water freezing is not a problem. Thanks for all the advise. A ceramic portable heater is a definite no-no so I won't go that option was just curious.
