    Rooster with Scaly leg mites

    Yes, he had a bumblefoot issue on the top side of that foot and I got the core out of it. However checking him today and finally getting a picture of the bottom of his foot there was a bigger area of bumble foot which i cleaned out and gave him amoxicillin and baby aspirin for.

    Hen with hard mass

    Ok, and thank you, I will do more research on both of those subjects, do you do the necropsy yourself? I wanted to, but was a little apprehensive as I have never done one before. We have butchered chickens as a family growing up on the farm, just never done anything like that before.
