Drinking already covered
hydrating garden leads to shallow root systems & weaker plants
Hydrating chickens I'll give you
canoeing isn't part of my world. Bass boats, on the other hand...
fishing already established
bathing "
essential component of snow- snow , hopefully, not part of my world, either
essential ingredient for beer making - also not in my world

I know I repeated part of your list.
Hydrating gardens doesn't create shallow root systems if done correctly. Deep watering weekly during drought. (minimum of equivalent of an inch of rain)
Not hydrating gardens in the absence of rain leads to NO garden.

I forgot about sailing and sail boarding.




Snow is essential for fun.

Quote: Totally unrelated to your problem, but you said you use the Rutland Creosote Remover with a hot fire. The directions simply say to use it on hot coals; don't mention fire. Am I overthinking this thing? I used it for the 2nd time yesterday; that lid is a real bear to remove.

Chrissy is doing ok. No infection, still drinking but not eating. Breathing is a bit more stable now.

How is leg movement?

How is leg movement?

I can move it in a nearly full range of motion, but she won't move it herself. When she tries to walk she uses a wing as support and drags that leg.

I'd try to limit her motion for a bit by putting her in a carrier or cage. But still pull her out and move the leg around to keep it mobile.
Did you trim the feathers from dipping into the wound?

Did you trim the feathers from dipping into the wound?

Yes, she's in a small dog crate with deep enough bedding to cushion her leg.

I have. I also sprayed the wound and immediately surrounding area with Betadine.

Didn't someone on here say that honey has curative properties?

Yeah, but that'd make a huge mess.
