My hen had it for quite some time and just the other night, I cut it again and FINALLY the plug came out.
GBF---you can do it. You may get queasy (like me) but you know it needs to be done. My hen is finally walking around with just a slight limp. I know I did the right thing. Just like speckledhen said. Cut it out, soak it, clean it and wrap it. I did soak a bit before trying to cut it out and it did better for me. It was swelling between her toes too. Poor thing was in pain but happy now.
