Just looking for feedback.
Got a hen who I found with a large scab on the top her foot last week.
Read around and decided to go with the following treatment:
1. Isolate her in the coop
2. Daily soaks in Epsom Salts, massaging until the scab comes off
3. Apply Iodine & Change bandage daily.
Initially it worked pretty good. But I may have massaged off the big part of the scab too soon. Still a little bit of open wound.
I'm still keeping her isolated in the coop, and applying iodine with her daily bandage change.
She has not laid any eggs since I've put her in her cage. She is eating and drinking. I add fresh pine shavings to her cage daily.
