Sinus Infections

No local anesthetic. Keeping them still is tricky. Let me think about how I do it, and I will post instructions in the next day or two.

This is very interesting!! Does the cut you make heal its self?

Great question! It does!

Great question! It does!

So would I have to keep the chicken inside if it had a wound like that?

No, they can go outside.

No, they can go outside.

Oh okay! it won't get infected? The cut closes up right away then?

Thank you @casportpony for this gross but education post. I have a hen with a sinus infection and just spent some time trying to clean out the gunk but I don't think I got it all...

I was trying to find a good pic of the sinuses because I found that inside her mouth (on the infected side) there was a visible clog. I got the dried plug out but there was a lot of white pus underneath. Unfortunately I was doing this solo so hard to take pictures. This was before I started cleaning the infection.

I'm wondering if I need to perform surgery now like in your examples...
