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...

Ha ha! who'd have thought!!!!

LOL! did you have to go to the hospital?

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!

my one royal palm is brooding...she's impressive just fluffing and giving me the evil eye, i would NOT want to be on the receiving end of that beak....
got a few good scratches from cockerels and hens from moving birds this weekend, that was enough...LOL.

Wing in the face from turkey - ouch!

Been there done that. You arent kidding!!!

oh yes if I have to grab a turkey I bear hug them. if I have to grab a goose I get our oldest to grab its head. thankfully I only had to do that once. just stay away from the nest LOL.

I use a fishermen's girlfriend to catch my turkeys or geese . A net lol

Yeah, I've gotten whacked a few times picking up a feisty turkey lol!
