    Minor cut on bill

    My pet duck, Beepers, picked a fight with a rooster today. He got pecked pretty hard. It seems kinda deep. He can eat and drink normally, and is acting normal. I just don’t want it to get infected, and I’m not sure what to do. It can probably heal by itself, but I need to protect it from infection.

    Swollen toe - not bumblefoot - what to do?

    My 1 year old Wyandot has a very bulbous, swollen toe. The scales have fallen off and the skin is pink, and fairly firm. Soaking and cleaning revealed no black scab, so bumblefoot is out. There was a small lesion near the nail, although I don’t know if that came after the injury or before...

    Oral Antibiotics for Injuries?

    One of our favorite hens went missing for a few days and just wandered back up with a pretty severe injury under wing that already smells pretty rotten. We sprayed the wound down good with vetericyn but I’m wondering if there’s an oral antibiotic at feed stores that may be helpful?
