Lou

Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy here. 

Lou spent the day in the garage coop.  Every hour or two we sprayed her toe wound with Purishield and then coated it in a combination of Cornstarch and Diatomaceous Earth.  Her toe has stopped bleeding but we will wait to put her back in Red Door Coop with the other birds until it has really started to heal.  Lou will be in the garage tonight and tomorrow.  Perhaps longer. 

It's lucky that we take a pretty good look at the birds every morning as we go through our morning chore routine.  This wound could easily have turned into something pretty nasty if the other birds had had enough time to discover her bloody toe.  Blood makes chickens a bit coo coo for cocoa puffs.
