Thanks Claire i haven't had anymore post here with answers to my questions.
I searched the web and found some pics i'm placeing 2 is this as bad as it gets or is this kind of like some things some have it bad while others dodge the bullet.
The amazing thing is on one of the site they said that research found putting iodine on the lesions helped heal the sores. Why i use iodine all the time and had put some on the roos comb but that was before you told me not to handle them." GOT GLOVES GERM X AND IODINE " ready for battle. I'm still on the fence about putting down the roo.{SAD} because of his lameness and the pox i allways try to do things by my head and not my heart it's better to lose one chicken and be sad then watch a whole flock suffer.
I still need to know if it is going to effect my mama and her chicks because she was in that pen with the roo up until about a week and a half ago???
I'm okay with selling as most of my birds are not in close contact with him and i haven't seen warts on any others i will check again just to be certain. I take this personally and allways strive to keep them healthy and when they are not happy i'm not happy.
Now People don't think me strange but i have performed CPR on rabbits given mouth to mouth to chicks
you simply open thier beak and blow gently no contact needed. Wet down and saved a heat exausted rabbits CURED eye infection in rabbits when i was told there was no cure. I was at a livestock sale this past july it was hot way close to 100 and somebody came in with a pair of barred rocks everbody said the hen was dead from sitting in the heat in a truck bed. He sat them aside and i walked over sad it had happened. Not critizizing at all because it can happen to all of us it's just one stuck traffic backup away. But i saw her eye flutter and i said shes not dead and i put her in front of one of the large fans they use to cool the animals i got my handy spray bottle and went to work.
I wet her good and she was breathing better but it was still on the side of bad so i felt her breast and said i need to bring down her core temp. All the while we were forgotten just me the chicken a jug of cold water and a fan. I lifted her wing and poured the water on her breast cupped my hand and put some under the other a few seconds went by and she opened both eyes good girl i said to her breathing was better but still shallow I worked about an hour on her water in front of the fan and talking and when he finally took her home in the front of a air condition truck i might add he came back about 2 hours later and said he had took her home and took her inside to the AC and went outside for a little while and came back to find her sittng on his sofa LOL!!! Later at the sale i had several people come to me and say boy you brought that hen back and one said you should be a vet as much as you care about these animals and i said i never give up if i think i can save it i will but i know when to let go as well it's all about the animal and not my feelings i would never have a animal suffering because i want to be a hero. I'm no Hero just somebody who cares.
This story was long but i feel better now Thanks for the kind words Claire
