Hey
@The Chick Addict thanks for checking up on us!!
The day after the last posting, Popcorn & Noodle got into a big fight. Noodle had wounds on his comb & waddle and Popcorn had a cut just above his eye, all over his comb & waddles, and was missing feathers; he looked horrible. We decided not to separate them, just spent the next two days in there "promoting peace", by giving treats when they were near each other and distracting "face-offs". Crazin also seems to act like he's playing peacemaker on a daily basis since then.
I never saw anything in Popcorn's throat so I was hesitant to give antibiotics, but I did clean & treat his & Noodle's wound areas. They both still get random wounds but have healed from the incident and Popcorn's face/head is no longer swollen, he just has a slight scar where the cut was near his eye.
Everyone got vitamins in their water & I put some red pepper flakes or oregano periodically in their water, they seem to like it.
No one else seemed to develop any swelling or 'pox' looking things, and I guess we caught Popcorn's symptoms really early since it went away so fast, it took him longer to heal from the fight!
I'm still monitoring but I think we dodged a bullet!
