I get the appeal of them. They are quite pretty. Please keep us posted on how you do.

Hi, sorry I haven't had much time to update had a show last Saturday with my horse that I found about 12 hours before it after riding. Then came summer camp.
Anyways I'm home now. Woke up to one dead show bird and a meat bird with a bad eye and bumble foot.

Sorry about show bird. Do you know how to treat bumble foot?

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Yeah, we know about treating it. We have been doing Epson salt water soaking a few times.

R they on wire?

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Not sure what you mean

 

[seedcorn]

Wire bottom cages or dirt?

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Dirt. We did try to use the syringe to see what we could get out and only got blood.

The little boy is okay. Still on his own, we are staying optimistic about him recovering.
