    What is this gross “poop”?

    It was very gelatinous, I was able to poke it around but it was like jelly. Mostly same consistency as what was on the outside. I am not sure which hen, they all rotate in and out of that nest box and a few take turns sleeping in there. Any precautions or things I should be looking out for if...

    What is this gross “poop”?

    Just found this in the nesting boxes. No hens are showing signs of lethargy. Any ideas? Just to add, it’s obviously not poo it looked just like raw chicken meat 🤢

    Lump on chickens cheek

    I ended up trying a virtual vet app, the vet prescribed tetracycline powder and tobradex eye drops. She has two days left of the 14 day treatment and the lump pretty much has gone away!! It stil looks like it’s there a bit but feels completely empty probably just some loose skin. Attached photo...

    Lump on chickens cheek

    I received the Terramycin and have been using it twice a day since Monday night. The lump has slowly returned since it was drained last (feb22). Is it too early to see improvements with the meds? Also not sure exactly how effective I am with getting it in her eye. I apply it to corners of eye...

    Lump on chickens cheek

    We’re drained the limp twice now and the fluid was clear like poking a blister. The second time we drained it the lump returned within a week. I am waiting on the terramycin to arrive in the mail so I will see if that will help if it’s something sinus related but will probably drain the lump...

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Thank you for the info! I was able to find terramycin online which ships to Canada thankfully… hoping it actually arrives because there are no vet options for chickens near me. I will keep trying the polysporin drops until it arrives

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Thanks. Would the polysporin eye drops still be ok to keep using? Or would that not do anything if it’s mycoplasma. I can’t seem to find any sites with tylosin that ships to Canada unfortunately. I will keep searching

    Lump on chickens cheek

    I gave her the eye drops about an hour ago, eye has foam on it again. Just editing to add: none of the other chickens have had any symptoms like watery eye, sneezing, face swelling. And now her other eye on the side without the swelling has clear foam.

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Updating this older thread. After draining the fluid from the lump it came back to the same size within a month so we tried again. Its been a week since the second time draining it and the lump is back again to full size. Noticed today her eye on that side had clear foam and her nostril had...

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Update - I poked just under the skin and a lot of clear but yellow tint liquid came out. Is that pus? I heard chicken pus is stringy so I wasn’t sure. It was like a blister popping.

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Turns out all I can purchase (even online) would be polysporin pink eye eye drops. Would these ingredients work the same?

    Lump on chickens cheek

    It does have a darker spot on it. It does feel like some sort of fluid but not totally liquid filled. I don’t recall her having any sort of wound there but maybe something small happened. If it is a cyst how should I treat it? I will try to treat it for this and try the sinus infection...

    Lump on chickens cheek

    I will look into terranycin. I know I’ll be able to find neosporin! Just apply directly to the spot? I will give it a try

    Lump on chickens cheek

    Hello my 6 month old Brahma hen has been developing this lump in her face for the last couple months. The lump is not rock hard but not super soft, kind of feels like a mix. She had no runny eyes on nose, no wheezing or coughing or goopy / crusty eyes. Appetite and energy level are really...
