Fluster Cluck Acres
Crowing
A month or 2 ago, my rooster cut his foot just above his rear toe (this toe has always been a little “limp” since he was a chick). It was a deep incision but by the time I noticed it, it had already started to heal over.
Now there appears to be something protruding from it. It is hard to the touch, scab-like, but firmer. It’s black and seems to be slowly growing larger. It doesn’t seem to be sensitive to the touch, but does bother him if I apply pressure to it. He doesn’t limp or otherwise seem unwell. Is this an abscess or some type of infection? Will it fall off on its own or do I need to treat it with something?
