Minty_76 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hello Being a bit of a wuss here but my OEG bantam has a huge mud ball on her toe. I just can't get her to stay still so I can pick it off. She flaps and squeaks and I just give in and let her go. Im sure not sure how to get rid of it - any ideas? I have tried soaking her feet in a bowl of warm water but she won't stay still very long. I wish she would realise I'm trying to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 What about some oil to soften it then have another go Perhaps sneak up on her now while she's asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty_76 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks Plum What oil do you think-olive? If I rub it in the ball do you think it will break it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesca88 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I have this problem with a couple of my bantams... I stand them in a sink of warm water and pick it off / loosen it with tweezers. Does take a while to get off though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Squeezing it with a pair of pliers will help loosen it from the toe but it does have to be soaked first really, try bringing her in after dark in to a dark-ish room to keep her as calm as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
