Hello,
just a quick question. A few days ago I noticed that my modern game broody had a swollen 'ankle'. I felt it and it wasn't full of fluid, it felt firm and warm. Now I have seen that she has pecked two scales off, making her leg bleed. Now, I usually treat SLM with benzyl benzoate, but can I apply this on bleeding legs (they've scabbed up now) and while she is brooding chicks (10days old)?? And do you think this is what it is? Her legs are very smooth so any lifting of the scales would be very obvious and there aren't any....
I'm not overly worried but wonder if i should be applying something. She is separate from the other birds.
Thanks,
JM
