Unsure when she last layed, being winter and all. She is 2.5 yrs old, smaller hen. I soaked her in epsom salts & gave her calcium. She has been inside for 10 hrs now and seems to not want to lay down but only stands, and only pooped once in all that time, so that has me concerned now. I have her...

I have caught one of my hens acting a bit off, standing like she is uncomfortable. Picked her up and her abdomen is hard, feels like there could? possibly be an egg by her leftish side, close to the vent. Sadly I have to leave for work, so am posting this hoping for advice and treatment? Will...

That is my plan!! Thank you!! Appreciate the input!

It does seem more like keratin, but the growth/ formation is very fungal-like in nature... so was confused. There is another thread in this forum that has similar looking bumps and they were thinking it was favus. Keratin makes more sense in the feel of this, which I cannt share. Thank you very...

Appreciate this! I suspect this is an accurate assessment. Will get some OTC antifungal cream and scrub them off as suggested. Many thanks!

Greetings! I do not know what this is? It looks fungal, they are hard and not squishy. They come off, but not easily. There is more in the crevices and middle of the comb. He does not seem to be bothered by it. He has had this for a while, no other chickens show anything like this. I have...

I am also facing the same problem. How did this solution work for you? I have 10% Baytril on hand, also a recurring and swollen Bumble that will not go away with other measures. Thanks for any info.

She walked around outside, ate some calcium pebbles and grass. Acting lethargic, but otherwise seems ok? I am more familiar with chickens, so maybe this is just something turkeys do from time to time?

I have a turkey hen, 2 yrs old, beloved pet. She ate some of her favorite treat, shredded broccoli and carrots slaw, and she eats it so fast! This morning she seemed to stop eating it quite suddenly, and hours later, after we returned from work, she is acting unwell. She had a small lump right...

Curious how they made it! Hope all is well

These boys are super sweet and gorgeous, looking to regime them, free of charge. We have too many and they are too adorable to not try and find homes for them. Thanks for your interest, please reach out if you want one!

Thank you for the replies @azygous She was acting a little more mellow than usual in the house- she was eating lettuce and apples and drinking water, but the poop was still very much the same, if in smaller quanity than the pictures. Yellow is the same color as a hardboiled egg yolk, all the...

Sorry— the egg was laid yesterday morning and it was last night when she was acting strange and this morning when she pooped- this is the 3rd one I’ve seen this color this morning. I’ve called an avian vet and am waiting to hear back!

My hen was acting different last night- open mouth breathing hard in the perch and acting like she couldn’t stand- so I brought her in to the house in the “hospital cage” This morning in her poop there was yellow egg yolk color mixed in the otherwise normal poop. Then a short while later a very...
