To me it looks like the beginning of bumblefoot, meaning the wound. I wouldn't cut into that, because it still looks tender. I'd just do the TLC, meaning daily cleanse, soak, cleanse and bandage.

maybe nava can send my BLR (with feathered necks) in the same box?

ok, I am ordering some blue laced red naked necks, they are a project and really cool. I will be getting splash laced and black laced red as well. I can order 15 @$12 each, I only want 8 so that leaves 7 if anyone wants to puchase some. They are due to come in the first week of April and need to let her know within a couple of days. I am covering the shipping cost so if anyone wants to order 7 of these cool project birds for $84 let me know asap and I will give you her(Nava) paypal addy.

I don't need to add these birds to my shipment but wanted to give anyone else an opportunity to try them out.

ok thanks for looking. i will do the soak and bandage . should i put any antibiotic cream on the wound after i soak it . or just soak and wrap.

I don't mind, but you would need to drive down here. With the price of gas dh wouldn't mind me paying the shipping but wouldn't deliver as well

. Let me know, I am in Windham.....

Yes, put antibiotic ointment (not cream) on it. I pretty much put a bunch on the pad, and then also rub it into the rest of the foot, even the top part. I put an eraser sized piece onto about an inch square piece of sterile gauze, then push that ointment into the wound, then bandage the foot with vet wrap.

ok thanks a whole bunch for your help . i apprecieate it . are you still interested in some white leghorn hatching eggs. if so let me know and i can bring them to the augusta swaps if you are going. i wont charge you anything for them. i have a white rock rooster too so some of the eggs could be fertile from him also .

I have a friend who is looking for some Buckeye hatching eggs. Does anyone know anyone who might have some? Would rather pick them up than have them shipped. If you do just PM me and I will let her know.

I might take a few, and I will pay for them! My sister is coming up in late June or early July and wants her kids to see chicks hatch. I don't currently have anything to hatch then, and white eggs are always great to see through. I'm not able to make it to the first swap since I'm working that weekend, of course.

I've got 21 almost-3 week old chicks in the basement right now. I'm keeping the males for meat and hoping to sell off all the females. I guess waiting til the next swap is better so I'm certain of their gender.

Well, TSC in Wilton hosted their first swap of the season on March 4th.

Not too many sellers or buyers, but at least the season has begun......

As always, folks are looking for large fowl layers.

Hatchery orders seem to be the style right now

I had a mink at my coop yesterday, grrrr. thankfully didn't take any chickens but I've lost so many to weasels in the past.time to get out the dogs and guns.
