My 1 year old Australorp rooster, aptly named Severus Snape, apparently has a BB stuck in his leg. I am assuming it is from my kids shooting their bb guns when he was chasing hens (he free ranges). Everyone has been reprimanded about using bb's near animals.
Anywho. I don't know how to get it out. His foot seems to be swollen today as well, when it wasn't yesterday. I plan to call vets tomorrow to see if anyone does poultry but I highly doubt it. We don't really have farm vets out here that are close.
How would one go about getting said bb out? The tweezers won't grasp it. I would have to dig it out somehow.
Also. I think he might have bumblefoot? I've never experienced it so no clue what I am looking at. Help if possible please! (Or point me to a poultry vet around Charleston, SC area)
