have you ever tried bandaging a chook before

no me neither until today    as some of you may know my little rhode island red Ginnny has been suffering with blood blisters on her chest , this is the 3rd one to go and boy do they bleed 

the last one that burst she lost a lot of blood and it took its toll on her for a few days , luckily today I saw it burst and thought need to stop this bleeding fast , so with an improvised eye patch bandage I've had for donkeys years we managed a make shift pad 

bless her she's been walking round as happy as any thing all day with her pad - no ill effects pleased to say , not sure whether to take it off till tomorrow now

Oh bless her. She really doesn't seem fussed tho

Never heard of that before 

She looks fine though otherwise. Picture of health. As do the others.  I love to see chooks in good nick

pleased to report the bandage came off and the bleeding had stopped

stopping her loosing to much blood was defiantly the right thing to do , she showed no sign of weakness like the last 2 bleeds

not sure why she's getting this problem - she has a really protruding breast bone which seems to be very tight under her skin surface and think that is causing the blisters to form
