Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

they are claimed to be bred from very old stock leghorns from 1955. Hence 55 flowery hens.

Those sound really cool !

Thanks! That happens around this time of year. I'd hatch them myself, but I'm pretty full up too!
And if you ever want some, just let me know.

That goes for all pond residents.

Thanks! I've got Campine, BBS AM, White JG, and Silkie eggs for anyone on here, too.

I bet Sour did it this time!

Seriously, don't panic reading all that bad stuff. I know you will evaluate before doing anything hasty, but you have to stay calm for her, and take your time figuring out what needs to be done.

Calm... I've forgotten what that is.... :/

Won't do anything hasty, promise

Well, then...

May or may not... may introduce gangrene to healthy tissue... watch that closely...
See above...

I have rights I can get upset ifin I want to .

your not the boss of me .

EEs are a breed they are just the branch they broke off

Same thought worry about gangrene. setting in hopefully it will drop off before warm weather sets in . I would be trying to scrub it back to live tissue and using a topical antibiotic to treat it with .

Sorry; just wondering if she meant it would most likely rot whilst still attached (and require amputation,) rather than coming off cleanly...

We all hope it will wither away on its own Amputation will require a vet and a pretty extensive sugary. Are you allowing her to swim in a pool or tote or bath tub ? I wonder if that help speed up the process

Eating good and laying are really good signs .

Yes, I give her a daily bath & keep debris off the leg. Will keep doing epsom soaks and apply TAO for now....
