What did you do with your flock today?

[room onthebroom]

I’ve been soaking Iris’s feet in Epsom salt for the past 2-3 days, and today I finally got some of his bumble out! And even better, it was the part with the worst of it. It’s now almost completely gone in that toe.
He was such a good boy the entire time.

Honestly, I’m really surprised they didn’t like them. I guess they’re more like little kids than I thought. XD
Even the ducks weren’t interested. Maybe after a few tries they’ll grow on them. I saw Beigie eating a few, but she’ll eat anything and everything.

They can be really fussy huh.. Filled their water have 3, 5gallon buckets in the main coop 2 in the small one. Having to do it weekly with the heat

I started Iris on daily soaks of TricideNeo.
First I soaked his feet in warm Epsom salt for about 20-30 minutes, and then tried to get some more bumble out. After I was done and his feet were dry, I made a batch of TricideNeo (half a tablespoon of the powder mixed in two quarts of distilled water) and soaked his feet in it for 5 minutes. I put a little betadine on and wrapped his feet.
Hopefully this’ll help his bumblefoot, since regular Epsom salt soaks hasn’t really been doing much.

I hope this works. An antibiotic in a human will usually start showing small signs of improvement in 24hrs. I’m curious to see if this is working & how fast you’ll see results... I hope you’re taking notes for posterity.

I took 2 young cockerel from my silkie coop to the main coop.. Red my EE rooster is very good at raising birds even cockerel .. They had started mounting the silkie they where not much bigger than them but do not need my little banty hurt as the two cockerel grow they are both going to freezer camp soon as they are big enough anyway

Today was day #2 for Iris’s TricideNeo soaks. I did the same thing as I did yesterday, with 20 minutes in Epsom salt and 5 minutes in TricideNeo. I didn’t spend as much time picking at his bumble as I normally do, since it was getting a little late.
So far there isn’t a visible difference since I started the trineo soaks, but it’ll probably take a few days.

His one toe is starting to heal up
though! It looks so much better. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of it. :/

Had a surprise last night the two cockerel I took from Banty gave them to main coop to raise guess where they where roosted last night ..
With Red my EE rooster had both so close like "there ya go boys,
nothing to worry about"!
