    Canker or Fowl Pox???

    Thank you so much for your advice @Eggsessive. Her breath does smell worse than how she usually smells, if that makes sense! An update for you.. We cleaned the nostril and managed to get out this big yellow cheesy plug. Could that be related to canker or a separate issue/coincidence? She is...

    Canker or Fowl Pox???

    Hi everyone, Last night, I noticed my 5 year old Bluebell has 2 flat yellow lesions in her beak - please see photos attached. You can also see one of her nostrils is slightly swollen and she's breathing with her mouth open a lot. Does anyone recognise what this is and do I need to take her to...

    Slight mouth breathing, not hot outside??

    Hi everyone, I have a 4½ year old Bluebell. She is over 3kg, so a big chunky girl who loves being a lap chicken & lots of attention 🥰 She's just started losing a few feathers for her annual moult, but I don't think this issue is moult-related. When she's sat down on the floor or my lap, like a...

    Wheezing & sneezing for 2 months!!

    Hi @azygous , thank you so much for taking the time to reply. We have taken your advice and removed the mash from their feed (we used to mix it into the pellets and it even made ME sneeze!). We have also put a new layer of flooring down in their coop of large pine shavings, and we plan to...

    Dried out tip of tongue/panting hen

    Happy weekend @Wyorp Rock ! I've had my results back from the fecal float and wanted to update you 😊 From the looks of it, oocyst levels are very low (hooray!). I'm starting to think whether all this intestinal shedding is actually worm related and not coccidiosis at all..?? I have seen...

    Dried out tip of tongue/panting hen

    @Wyorp Rock, thank you so much for taking the time to provide some insight. I have attached some additional poop photos below that I believe are definitely signs of coccidiosis - but only the fecal float will confirm this, and I will get that done ASAP! Thank you again and I will update you...

    Dried out tip of tongue/panting hen

    Hello @Wyorp Rock, thank you very much for the friendly welcome 😊 💩🦠Yes of course, let me give you some background:🦠💩 - I have 3 chickens, one 2 year old and two that are around 7 months old. These new girls sadly came with coccidiosis from the breeder (I assume this as their intestinal lining...

    Dried out tip of tongue/panting hen

    Hi @Avfields, did you ever find any answers for your girl? I am experiencing the same with our Bluebelle - just noticed a brown colouration to her tongue that I swear was never there before..! The whole flock is also being treated for coccidia at the moment with amprolium in the water.. I wonder...
