Just say no to that rooster, Nick! Could be a carrier of the disease it had.

If you aren't allowed roosters, I would just not get one. Mine are all SO NOISY. They crow about anything and everything and are LOUD. Even the bantams are loud in their own way. Get another hen instead

Nick, is it bleeding? Bleeding does help the wound to self flush. If there is mud or debris of any kind in the wound, you'll want to flush it with a sterile saline solution. You can make that yourself by boiling water and salt and then let that solution cool so as not to scald your birds leg. Just from memory, I think the recipe is about a quart of water to about a 1/4 cup of salt. But check with maybe Cynthia or Kathy to be sure. My memory ain't what she used to be!
Anyhow, once you have your sterile saline solution made, poor that into a sterilized squirt bottle while it's still hot, and cap it off. But do not cap the bottle tightly as the water will contract as it cools, making it very difficult to open later on. If your squirt bottle is a flip top sort, it will also suck in air when you open it after it cools if you've capped it tightly, causing the sterile saline solution to become contaminated by the air, defeating the whole purpose of it being sterilized in the first place.
Once you have cleaned the wound with the sterile saline solution, follow that up with some Neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment and wrap with gauze and that self adhesive sports tape that won't stick to the wound nor the chicken for that matter. If you don't have any, get some! Awesome stuff!
Now then, if you need to know more on how to treat this, please just send me a PM and I'd be happy to help you through it. I just don't want to bore everyone else to tears with one of my uber long winded discourses on wound treatments!

Okay Beth...I shall take those eggs. And Cyn get to trimming butt fluff...this is all the womenz fault because Suede is PERFECT and shall be perfect until he goes feet in the air and travels to that great roost in the sky.
Re the horse....Beth is correct if you look at this pic of Apollo Bey, that is Jo to a tee without her polar bear wear.
This pedigree she posted is Apollo Bey http://www.arabhorse.com/arabian-stallion/aa-apollo-bey
While he is handsome and all, Jo is much more beautimus. Once she sheds and we can have a couple Diva Days with full Spa treatments, he will look like a nag in comparison. I am in search of little bells and tubes for her continental braid. And let it be known right now that No More Cutting will occur on that girl's mane or tail. We shall comb and condition and let it grow back out.

I am tired and all I did was scrape dropping boards and wash the waterer and fill it. I also nearly finished my quilt top.

Haha, alright! But one more thing on here... it isn't bleeding, just a scab now. See this post... do I still need to do that, or do the neosporin?
ETA: Laura, that is a very nice quilt! Congrats!

oooh, that is very pretty
My sister is big on quilting.....she asked me if I wanted one and I said yes. I expect to get one in approximately 2017. I am still waiting on my chicken coop curtains that were my 2009 birthday gift.
