Anyone every come across this?

Thanks!

My whole right hand feels like a swollen bloody nub right now.

Getting spurred sucks. Hoping you recover soon!

I'll be ok in a month once the bones heal, and if the dozen holes in my hand don't get infected.

My rooster Over Easy put his spurs through my calf more than once. I still have the scar from a particularly vicious attack. I finally sent him to the rainbow bridge. Broke my heart, but he was clearly a danger to me. I tried everything short of locking him away from friend and foe. You have one determined chicken there.

Funny, I got spurred today too, except it was an accident on the rooster's part and certainly didn't require any more medical attention than washing the blood and chicken poop off my hand.

@EggWalrus oh my! Wishing you a quick and easy recovery!

I am sitting in the ER catching up on this thread. A Momma Broody with spurs tore my hand up this morning. I reached in to dump the baby food and in under a second, she got me. It felt like I was being shot with huge steel ball bearings from a machine gun. She spurred me over a dozen times in under 1 second, cracked the largest bone in my index finger and broke middle finger.
That little B!+€h!

What breed was this broody hen?

 

[drumstick diva]

just call the odd toe "this little piggy."

I would give serious thought to passing on that broody to someone with an armor suit and gauntlets.

American Game, a Lewis Gray.
Originally breed as viscous fighters, even the hens!
And NO! I don't fight them!
This medicine is starting to make me feel like a fluffy butt!
