swelling

Hey all. Looking for advice on a medical issue one of my turkey poults seems to be having. She had club foot when we got her, which I managed to correct by making her a tape boot. About 3 days ago, I noticed she was spending a lot of time sitting and seemed in pain when walking, so I checked her...

Barred Rock Hen is ~2 years old. Otherwise a very healthy chicken. Swelling is firm, she is able to walk but favors her good foot. Pad looks clean and does not appear to be bumblefoot. Any thoughts on what this could be?

My polish hen is about three years old and has bumble foot. She weighs around 5 pounds maybe even less and we've been treating her with oral amoxicillin, epsom salt soak, betadine soak, and antibiotic creams. She does not have a black scab anymore and we've popped some of the infection out. It's...

First let me say I’m grateful for this web site and all the wonderful wisdom you all dispense! :-) My 2.5 year old Rhode Island Red has had swollen ankles and feet for the past 2.5 months. She is eating and drinking great, no bluish crown or color. Her feet just keep getting bigger and bigger...

Help if you can! See pics I have a Buff Orp who has a foot that started swelling with these bumps that have grown over the past 2 months and will not go away and the poor girl can hardly use her foot. They are hard too and when they got off to a good start in the beginning I tried lancing the...

I just picked up a whole bunch of chickens the other day. I noticed we got a Leghorn in this batch! But I noticed that the comb was a lot thicker than what I'm used to seeing. She is laying and acting fine. No other obvious signs of illness otherwise. Is it just me? Or is it swollen...

So I'm currently fighting lice, I began treating everyone a few days ago and discovered some had really bad lice nits below their vents. I discovered one of my girls is extremely raw and swelled. It feels like a water balloon. I'm not sure if it's because of the lice problem she had orr? I...

Hello! My duck, Nibbles, has recently developed a large swelling on his foot. He isn’t moving much because he doesn’t want to put pressure on it, but he otherwise seems healthy. It has been there for about 3-4 days. Does anyone know what this might be?

I'm not sure what I'm dealing with here. I took the best pictures I could for now. I hope it helps.

Hello BYC Community, I have a month old cross-beaked Silver Laced Wyandotte chick that I rescued from Tractor Supply. Until yesterday he (I think it's a he) has been an extremely active chick. Running, jumping, pecking, following me around the house, etc. Today I noticed a bit of swelling on...

last spring I got several khaki Campbells. Late summer I got a Muscovy drake from a lady and introduced him to the ducks. Until recently (3wks ago) he showed no real interest in them. Now he is mounting them repeatedly to the point that the back of one of the duck’s head started to swell. I’ve...

My 1st time having chickens...so I have no idea if this is normal. My meat bird has a pretty big swollen area underneath her vent/butt area. But she also seems very fat lol. (I say "she" because I'm not sure of the sex). I think she's about 4-6 weeks old. She eats a lot, but I thought meat birds...

This is the newest hen. She’s a students bird. 1 year old, beautiful but doesn’t lay eggs so the breeder sent her my way. Student just needed a bird for showmanship. Cleaned her up today before sending her to my student and noticed she was swollen. I gently wiped the dried poop, soaking it off...

My blue fawn call duck hen has a strange swelling on that side of her face that looks like it could be a tumor. Should I be worried? If so, how should I take action? Thoughts? @Miss Lydia @casportpony @chickens really @Pyxis Any advice is much appreciated. It hasn’t hindered her any, but I’m...

Both of these chicks vents were being pecked on by my other chicks when I was at school, by the time I got home they were both bleeding, one worse than the other. The worse one or the white chick in the images below a vent began swelling. Both chicks released vent fleet and these are they're...

Hello all I have taken on a disabled chicken. Long story short, she has an internal growth, golf ball size. Not an egg bound egg, not a tumour. It occurred 2 years ago (March), went away and came back (again in March) and has gone down, but not gone away. 2 Vets have no idea. Antibiotics did...

My hen has a very swollen comb. We also have a case of scaley mites in our coop, so I thought that was the issue and have been treating it as so, but the swelling has not gone down now for a few days. Could it be a sting? I'm worried it's something more serious - she has been acting normal...

I have a 5 mo. old Leghorn that was a victim of an over zealous rooster that got rehomed yesterday. :hit I've been putting antibiotic ointment on it for a couple weeks. When I first noticed it there was just a couple little nicks in it but I'm of the pro-active type and wanted to head infection...

Noticed this lump on her face yesterday. It's firm. Couldn't tell if it's hot (it's very hot outside). Other eye is fine and she's eating, drinking and acting fine otherwise. Haven't seen her poop today though. Any suggestions on what it could be? Her eye isn't cloudy at all. The second pic...
