Badly bleeding chicken

It looks a bit like a sarcoid (growth that horses get like a wart that eventually falls out taking the root with it) looks like you've done the right thing as that's how I also treat my nag's sarcoids (we've tried all other vet methods), purple spray and anything to dry up the area.

This time of year is not such an issue for maggots but with horses flies are a problem in Summer for this type of injury.

Crikey, I hope horses don't get them in similar proportions. That was as big as my thumb, from a chicken's backside. It would be the size of football on a horse

I've had a few almost as big as a tennis ball, seriously worrying. Thanks Mr Darcy
