Good to hear that Jezebel is still thriving. Thanks for the update.

She looks very good and is a pretty hen. It is wonderful that she has thrived. I have an old line RIR hen with spurs as well, that I recently just noticed. Her hatchmates don't have any.

Jonalisa, thanks for the update on Jezebel. She looks like such a sweetie. Estamets, sorry about losing your hen.

The dosage I found in 2 references for birds gave a dosage of 0.25 mg to 0.5mg per pound of weight given twice a day. A 5 pound bird could get up to 2.5 mg twice a day. It should only be given for a short period, such as a week or two. Then the dosage should be tapered down gradually from...

Thanks for the update. I have been worried about Jezabel. Prednisone can be a good drug for some things, but it also can make the body vulnerable to infections, and in humans, peptic ulcers. Since diseases causing lymphoma can decrease the white cell count and immunity, I would be cautious...

Great pictures. They really do show the thickness of the condition on the right side of the face. I really wish I knew someone at a good poultry center to send your pictures to, such as Cornell. Lymphoma or tumor seems more likely than fungus with skin thickening. Caspotpony has contacts at...

Here is a progression of some of your photos that were from your previous thread several months ago to now, where the progression of the white spongy-looking area has covered most of the right side of the face. Since the use of an antifungal cream such as miconazole (Nystatin7) would not be...

Thank goodness your heat and water are back on. I have never seen anything that has looked like her face, but I am wondering about some type of fungal disease (if it isn't tumors from a virus, such as Mareks.) Favus doesn't really look like that from the pictures I have seen, but I would...

Does the other side of her face look like the right side? The coloring looks kind of putty-colored and spongy. I wish I knew what it was, but I'm stumped. I saw the power outage in New Hampshire made the national news yesterday. Hopefully they can get everyone's power back on soon.

Oh, so sorry about your loss of power. And at such a horrible time. Hopefully you have a warm fireplace. I hope your chickens don't get too cold. Can you bring them into a basement ?

Does the new swelling feel slightly firm like the other did? She also looks to have a bit of swelling at 9 o'clock around the right eye. I just went back over your previous thread to look at pictures and to review all that you did. It seems other than the swelling of the face, she had no...
