Hi All,
What do you all do for your feathers summer and winter.
I have left mine for weeks and he started stomping so I thought I best have a look. I have bathed his legs with medicated shampoo, I thought he may have mites but a few people have looked and said that he hasn't. I have then pig oil and sulphur sprayed them and put cream on the small mud fever patch.
Its only when I bathed him that I saw that the insides are short compared to the rest. I'm gutted as he has such lovely feathers full feather most of the time. He is currently in the stable as no turn out but goes out for exercise in the morning and night.
I have tried over reach books on the back legs (someone on the yard said it may help to stop him standing on the) but I cant get them big enough. Brushing boots cant be worn all the time and he is doing the damage in the stable, I also don't think they come down far enough.
Its a tuff one as people told me to leave them and do nothing but by doing so they are a bit of a mess, but brushing them or putting stuff on them seams to make them thin out.
any route ideas?
any supplements or feeds?
any products?
