It's amazing how much the little buggers can bleed too, isn't it? Before I figured out whey the sebbie looked like an ax murderer had been after him (the dogs were way cleaner) I forced myself on him, and wondered how a feather or two could produce enough blood to make me have visuals of jagged cuts and bones sticking out. It was just feathers.I have an update to my white gander........ After calling my vet and having my experienced avian friend come to my house, we rounded up my gander for exam/treatment. We checked every inch of his body under a magnifying glass and found nothing, all while his middle toe slow dripped blood (which we had first assumed we caused when catching him). I guess he snagged his toenail then slept with his foot curled under his body this morning. Perhaps I should have caught him right away and examined him closely before calling the cavalry.
IN fact, I trimmed wings and made a small turkey pen for my trio, to keep the Tom away from the diamond (the for sure sebbie male). it kept him in for about 2 days, and today he and the goose were at it again. The turkey is completely bald on his right breast. The sebbie is not near as roughted up as the turkey at this point. Stupid turkey. He insists on strutting for any white birds that'll pay attention to him. This includes geese.
