Daily update on the Gnarly Bunch: Removed packing from the enlarged
glands on Middle Sister's feet and the cavities look clean and good.
Placed more NS in the hole and will hope that they do not get impacted with
filth again. With her cleaner living conditions, I doubt it will be a
problem.
Found
another bird with the exact same condition and removed large pieces of impacted
filth in her foot glands as well. They were not as swollen as MS's but
they looked like it should be uncomfortable.
Examined
other feet and could spot the gland on their feet but it was not enlarged, open
or impacted with anything. In their normal state and appearance the gland
is no bigger than the eye of a needle and even smaller on the smaller
birds. MS's and this other bird's glands were the size of a lentil and
MS's were very deep. Can you imagine what it felt like to be walking
around with impacted glands between your toes?? Ouch.
One
egg today.
When
examining birds tonight I was amazed at how heavy they have grown in such a
short time...very happy with the muscle growth and mass of all of them.
They have all, each and every one, gained weight and muscle mass to their
frames. I'm very pleased.
