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

Hello! Seen this thread around and it seemed like a fun enough thread. Got the café so might as well hang out at a pond too

Hmmmm... I must be really out there when I see being the least normal of a group as a compliment!

I can't change... I ain't got any idea how to be anyone else...

Ah, now I did not say the least normal - there's some tough competition here on the pond for that accolade

. Think about it - Sour always claims he's the most normal person he knows...

Sour is our well known Uncle George, nothing odd there...

Quite right, nothing odd in the least, now I think about it

I can already hear his reply...

Sour, don't forget to clear that lily pad next to you again... methinks the deep end dweller is hungry...

Well no wonder she's gorgeous!

she's from mine? How come I never think my birds that I keep look that good and then I see them at somebody else's house and I'm like dang, that's a nice bird!

I'm sitting here eyeballing them and wondering if I could get away with a coop of seramas in the backyard of the house in town, lol.

"They're not chickens, I swear."

Pigeons! I swear!

If it goes gangrene, then you'll have to suck it up and amputate it yourself... or put her down... not being mean, but being truthful... gangrene is no joke... and won't get 'better'... and it's a horrible thing to suffer through until it kills them...




Same goes for what's I gots too... am just super duper broke right now... :/
A little redness and *slight* swelling can be irritation from the part getting caught, banged, etc... watch for significant swelling, redness that spreads, whitish/yellowish lumps, dark discoloration, bad smell...

And stop looking crap up... just ask here or PM...

Maybe give her a few days of no soaks... let that part dry out more... might help it get brittle to fall off easier...

Agreed on the gangrene. I don't see anything concerning with the foot yet. I would also do as Raven said and not let her bathe for a few days. may help it dry out so it can fall off.

That foot looks shriveled and dry.  My "Peg" gal's foot looked like that before it fell off.  Once it did, the knob healed over and she had a normal life with the stub.  She did have to learn to scratch with the other foot as the peg wasn't very effective.

Smell and liquid and swelling are bad.  Dry and shriveled, while not good, are signs that things are going normally.

I don't think you'll need to amputate, but time will tell.

I agree with this completely. The rooster I had that lost his foot took forever to lose it but looked like your Ducks foot does and finally one day it was just gone. Frostbite is some nasty stuff and takes forever to heal

It's been one heck of a start to the year, my friend... maybe I'll get my chit sorted out soon and not be so loopy, eh?

I wouldn't want you any other way!

Went back thru my pics and it *could* be my Mocha, but I'm pretty sure its one from yours. They are all gorgeous! Mauve boy is kinda scraggly still, but overall, they are stunning! That's why I take so many pics of them! Lol

I've got a tiny mauve cockerel I'm keeping to replace my old mauve rooster. He's stunning!
