Hi all! Thought I'd update everone one on my roo's eye. I went to our local feed store (a staple in our community) and was told by the owner, Tylan 50 would not do anything for my rooster. He said the problem was "conjunctivitis". He suggested Terramycin but didn't have any in stock at the...

I've recently experienced an eye issue with my silver seabright roo. Pus in his eye; I've expressed the swollen area around the eye from different angles around the eye, forcing the pus out. The plug has a tail on the end as it was inside the front of the eye socket. I cleaned it as much as...

So would you suggest trying to open it up? If so, what is the best tool to use to open it. My concern is not knowing exactly what is in that area that could be affected by such a mass/tumor. Her ear seems to be clean and the mass is lower than her ear. If we decide to extract the tumor/cyst...

Here is my Buff Orp today after 11 days. The lump has gotten a bit bigger and harder. My husband and i tried to aspirate the lump using a needle syringe with no success. There wasnt even a drop of blood. Used vetrycin spray on it afterward. So now we are considering cutting it out. Also...

Thanks y'all! The white hen kinda looks like a Splash Dutch bantam, but with feathered legs. Thot i'd get some other ideas!

Thank you for your response! This is great information! None of my hens have spurs to contend with, but the two roos definitely do. My silkie roo has some vicious daggers. He protects ALL my girls, but I'm fearful that he could injure one of them with his masculinity! (Even the girls double...

Hi BYC folks! Here are two more in my eclectic flock I'd like assistance identifying. I got them as chicks from friends, like the majority of them all, so don't have breeder information. I'm still new at all this and am learning so much from y'all! The first is a speckled white bantam. She...

Thx donrae! I love BYC! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!

What breed is the hen in the background? I have one very similar. Or, can anyone tell me what breed mine is? Thx!

I know God puts us where He wants us at the right time! Earlier today, I searched and read up on cutting my chicken's nails, as i have on other various subjects I've been dealing with within my flock of 17. So, this evening, my hubby and I cut my silkie's nails because some were extremely...

So, what about a banty rooster's spurs? Can those be clipped, trimmed or filed?

Thx for responding! I looked real close for any broken skin. Nothing... but it is possible. She's definitely lower on the peckng order out of the 15 other hens. I read in another post about how to clean their ears, but haven't ventured into that yet! Don't know how a cyst would feel, so I'll...
