Hi all,
I went out to tuck in the chickens and found blood all over the coop. Turns out my beautiful 10 month old BCM roo ripped his spur most of the way off.
I brought him and gave him in a dog crate in a dark room. I plan to clean (I saw a post that suggested chlorhexadine) and then I guess I need to figure out how to cut the remainder of the spur off.
Once I’ve removed the remaining piece of spur, does it need to be bandaged? Or can I just keep an eye on it and clean it a couple times a day?
He’s in a small flock with only 3 ladies, so I plan to return him to the flock (tonight after cleaning or in the morning depending on how it looks).
Anything else I should do, or anyone who’s dealt with this before want to share any suggestions? Thanks!
