Fantastic! @SallyinIndiana and @racinchickins thanks to you both for your efforts in putting this together!

Had a "gasp" moment this afternoon.
Imagine the horror I felt when I saw one of my embden hens with this stuck on her bill!


I always share "bad stuff" and this was upsetting for us.

Someone was kind enough to toss this out in the yard by the barn somewhere. Well, she found it! She has a cut on either side of her bottom bill from this can. Cuts on either side of her tongue too.

Makes you realize how many wild ducks and geese probably die from negligence like this every year! She was very frightened, but we got it off, checked her over and let her go. Not much I can do to treat her since they dunk so frequently. Medicine will wash right off. Will be watching her close the next week.

I have no idea if its safe for animals but what about a liquid bandage, new skin and generics come to mind. Some people use super glue as a cheaper option too but I would not risk that in a mouth area.

On a lighter note, please feel free to use/share this picture. Not something you see every day. DH was worried about her too, but he couldn't help but laugh.

@SallyinIndiana I had that thought too, but that's also what stopped me. Not knowing whats safe! Geese are so tough, I was afraid to do more harm than good. Last year, I had a young chinese puncture her lower bill chewing bark off a tree. It splintered and she got caught! Fortunately I was right there when it happened not 10 feet away. They love to nibble stuff and often its something they shouldn't! Silly geese

Quote: I've been a slug about separating mine too. I'm going to try to do it this weekend. At the rate I'm going, I won't have to worry about it being too cold to get the babies outside, it will be too hot!

Ordered mine too!
