Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Brownie update: Terramycin and an otherwise healthy chicken made for a speedy recovery . Her eye is fully opened this morning and appears completely normal. Swelling is all but gone. I will do a few more days of the eye ointment just to insure all signs of infection are resolved.

I will also be nabbing several more of these tubes of medicine while I still can to have around as BYBob suggested. I do have a small emergency kit but I could definitely use to go through it and replace anything expired or that needs to be replenished.

I'm so glad that she is okay.

Rico and Martina…

I've seen pullets and cocks do that to each other. But the fact that Martina is starting it is confusing. Is she a pullet, really????

@RoyalChick, I did the donut wrap. I may have made it a bit too big, but it works. She is now safely back out with the others.
P.S. she also got a handful of spinach, for how awesome she is.

Here is her foot after soaking it and here is her foot all nice and wrapped. @Ponypoor, did I wrap it too tight?

Edit- The reason her foot is all "swelled" up in its wrap, is because I used the donut method that RC informed me about. It is a pipe cleaner wrapped in gauze, making a little donut to keep pressure off of the wound.

Pink. BRIGHT pink. And Chia was scratching at them this morning!

Color comparison @RoyalChick

Those are NOT orange but red poppies.

Her back toe isn't too far stretched out, is it?
