Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I did use a corn pad and the drawing ointment for two days, the scab came off, and unlike the “bad” foot there was no additional pus, just the core which I think came out completely with the scab. It was tiny compared to the bad foot’s core and the excessive pus.

The antibiotics helped to keep that one under control.

The most important thing is to help Roostie and keep all of you from any further injuries. Photos are just a bonus. And you could always do before and after shots with a "spoiler" for gross foot contents .

Edit:
" I will be sure to use spoilers if I do get any footage. "

You should wear a hat with SHRA on it.

Moral Conundrum

It is cold and windy here today. The wind chill is 14 degrees F (-10 C). However the sun is shining. ☀

If the ladies stay in their complex today it will be much warmer for them as the wind is blocked and the shower curtains will create a greenhouse for them. They will be active. If I let them out to free range, they will surely run out and hunker down with the apple trees. They will not be active but rather will lay around huddled all day.

I honestly believe that the best thing for them is to not let them out, despite their protestations to the contrary.

My question for all of you is, Is it wrong for me to deny them their own freedom of choice or should I leave them locked in?

I'm a firm believer of letting them choose. If you're able to supervise, then let them out for a bit. If not they'll eventually deal with it.

My guys always have the choice, but my set up is a bit different.
