tumor?

I have a 10 month old hen who as far as I can tell is acting normal and comfortable (tail up, color in comb, eating, walking, trotting with the flock when let to free range) over the last 5 or so days I noticed poop building up on her so today after she free ranged for almost 3 hours I soaked...

Hello again everyone. This has been a rough week. Thank you for everyone’s advice about helping my sick chicken & questions on deworming my flock. This community has been a god send. As I was deworming everyone I discovered another one of my Polish chickens has a big golf ball-sized lump on the...

Hi I’ve had chickens for a few years now, started with 4. One died at one year old due to sudden death syndrome. One died around 7 months ago due to being egg bound. Now, pebble, is sick. She hasn’t layed for around a year and the vet says she has some sort of mass or tumor and will likely need...

Type of bird: Serama chicken (with silkied feathers), very small around 12oz weight, 1+ year old. Behavior: Picking with beak at vent area and beak has occasionally been bloody. Otherwise she's been pretty normal until today she seemed just a tiny bit more lethargic than average but still...

Hey all. I just noticed a few minutes ago that one of my chickens has either a growth or swelling or...something, under her tail, theres a very big scab so I'm leaning towards swelling, but I'm unsure, it's very soft and she doesn't seem to be in pain when I touch it (but she does freeze up when...

We work in a rural area and have adopted some chickens that live at an employee's house around the corner. Momma had a few babies to start with, then went home to sit on eggs and brought back 8 more baby chicks just a few weeks ago. . We started to notice last week most of the babies have some...

Help!! We adopted this lady about 3 months ago and from the start she didnt have any interest to roam in the garden like other ladies and she very didnt move around if its not necessary and looked a bit depressed. We noticed she didnt take care of her rear feathers and that they were poopy from...

My Rhode Island Rock is just over 1 year old and is second from top chick in a flock of 4. She has had a red bump on her breast for several months and it has never seemed to bother her. Sometimes we don’t notice it but other times, when she has a full crop, it protrudes and we can see it in...

I will preface this by saying- there are no avian vets available in our area. My sex link Pullet (13ish weeks) has some sort of lump forming on her upper right breast. The lump is soft, squishy, and the size of a very small cherry tomato. She’s eating, roaming, growing, and overall healthy. It...

I have a 5 week old chick with a large mass on its chest/almost neck area. It Seemed to have showed up overnight but has now been there over 24 hours. I thought it was a crop problem at first but now I don’t think so. It’s not in the right place and it’s almost rock hard. It doesn’t stink, it’s...

I have 8 new chicks. One is 10 days old and the rest are 4 days old. One chick has a hard mass on her neck. It is under the skin, can not be shifted around and feels bony. It is on her right side (from her point of view) and seems quite large. She seems shy compared to the rest of the chicks and...

I recently got two brahma hens from a fair, and I couldn't tell them apart except for that darker coloration on one of their faces. Now, one of them has a huge protrusion from the back of her head and at first I thought her feathers had gotten rumpled, but I'm fairly certain it's a growth at...

Hi everyone-We have 4 chickens that are about 6 months old. We have an Ameracauna, a barred rock, a buff orpington, and a RIR. They started laying eggs about a month ago. Today, the Ameracauna-named Willow-developed a golf ball-sized lump below her right ear. It was not there yesterday. Her...
