Orpington died suddenly

[Achelois]

I have to operate on mine for bumblefoot. I lay them on their side on my lap and drape a rag over their head to keep them calm. I don't wrap them up just keep one hand or part of my arm on their upper side to keep the wing down. I don't use force...just touching it usually works. My Spanish though I have to watch cause they are so wild they will occasionally want to fight. I just stop and hold them a bit till they settle.If that's they worse thing you ever you you'll be better than most of us. Stuff happens. You learn from it and move forward.

I'll try that with her sister. They are SUCH big birds I was trying to keep them under control - my worst fear was that they'd kick out while I was holding a sharp knife near them. I guess my fear was misplaced.
