Who knew, that if you go to emerg after being pecked by a chicken there is an actual International classification code for it!

So next time you get pecked by that nasty roo, just say you're in for a W61.33XA (http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/ ... -/W61.33XA).

Oh, and if the cow bites you, it's a W55.21XA...

Thankfully no!

My DH is a science/medicine nut and finds these little nuggets!

But my turkeys are far worse for inflicting serious bites when they peck! Should get him to check if there's a code for that too lol!
