What a beautiful morning!
It is starting to look like fall around here.
******* WARNING GRAPHIC ******
Meet Amera!
She is an ameraucana chicken.
The other night I found her hiding. I wondered why???
When we picked her up she had a lump on her back. Now I know why, those roosters would hurt her if they got on her back. It's a fluid like abscess.
You might be wondering what is our plan?
We need to drain it. This is full of bacteria/puss and will eventually take her life if left untreated.
First attempt was to drain it with a needle. The needle we had was small and gonna take a long time to drain.Tim is making a small opening to allow it to drain.
Lots of puss came out.
This is not fun to do but she did really good.
Looks like we might of got all of it out.
Time to wrap her up.
We have her in a cage separately from the others while she heals.
Amera is doing good and healing nicely.
