    swollen rooster tubercle

    The vet says he has a tumor in his urine sac. He doesn't have abscesses. It's just thick urine looking like pus. He took tissue samples and said it appears to be cancer. He said further that 90% of cancer like this is due to Marek's. I don't know that it is. None of my other 8 chickens has...

    swollen rooster tubercle

    Thank you all for your replies. I have a picture on my phone but I haven't had the time to post it. There are two abcesses on his tubercle/penis. It still doesn't retract. I am taking him to a bird vet today. I only have 9 chickens...all of them pets. I can't just cull him. I think this...

    low pitched gurgling noise when breathing

    My 3 year old Silkie was just moved with one 6 month old Silkie companion to a new coop. I have fresh hay in there, because it's been cold. It's not damp. They've only been in it for 3 days. Before I moved them to the new coop they were indoors in a dog kennel. I noticed a slight gurgle...
