Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Sounds like an abscess @FlyingNunFarm

Or (more likely) a hot spot.

If you have a pair of clippers (like groomers use or like a guy uses to shave, an electric one) if you can find someone to hold her down, clip the area, then clean it, and send a pic....is she scratching it? Wish you lived by me, I'd hook you up with some antibiotics and pred, if that's what it is....
 
This could be a good thing and it could be a bad thing.
Bad only if she gets TOO much of things things and fills up on them before she gets enough of the complete feed.
I know it doesn't quite make sense and I haven't figured out a good way of explaining it just yet but it really is better for them to eat just a complete feed daily and every now and then a treat or two.
Not daily.
:oops:
Some treats do not have the calcium layers need. Maybe just high calcium treats, only 10% of the diet. Low calcium things like strawberries have vitamins, but you have good feed that has lots of vitamins, and they lower the average of the calcium in her food.

Dylan loves Broccoli and pumpkin seeds!
Edit to add: Not all of the goodies pictured are good for birds! ;) (I like them, though)!

Well I buttered her up with an empty peanut butter jar. She layed down on the couch and I cornered her. Cold compressed it a little then slathered her in VCO. I'd like to have cleaned it better but at least I got something on it.

Now she hiding from me again. :oops:

Hot compress better than cold if it is an infection of some sort...
