sandyhas3chucks Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Well I don't know if I have done it right. But hopefully you can see the sore botty. Any thoughts, though it is getting better slowly, now I have her sleeping alone away from her feather plucking best friend. but it does still goe very red then goes ple again, cannot work out if there is a reason yet though .

Snowy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Bless her! Although red, it doesn't look bruised or have any broken skin. I wouldn't worry about shades of red if it is even like that. One of my girls has a very bare botty, but on hers you can clearly see that it has been pecked as there are small scabs and bruises on it. Hopefully your girl will now grow some new feathers. If you think it may be sore, you can wash it with a solution of tea tree oil to soothe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yup, mine look like that only a larger patch..... there was re growth on some of the girls but then they all came out again!

quickcluck Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We are thinking maybe mice in the cube under the roosting bars but cant find any evidence too much poo, and also how do you get rid of them??? Not looking forward to the worms do you just give them a sprinkle a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 well if you want to try & work out if it IS mice, I suggest you start by cleaning out the pooh tray thoroughly. try then lining it with ONLY paper, if you put hemcore auboise or anything in normally, then dont! then every morning inspect that pooh tray! Mice will leave little black droppings like tiny weeny rugby balls. black, they may even nibble the paper. If you don't see either for a few days my guess would be NOT mice!
