Hi both,
Sorry I thought I had replied to this! I checked over the perch and it was still very smooth (check this regularly). I applied ointment but it largely seemed to sort itself out and she’s completely fine and hasn’t reoccurred. I suspect they may have got in a scuffle or she hurt herself...
Hi all,
Our oldest bird has developed a soft swollen abdomen this week. She was perfectly normal last I picked her up around 5th Jan (haven’t had much chance to see them since apart from husbandry).
She is around 7 years old, hasn’t been laying for about a year. Lives with two other younger...
This Cream Legbar hen is about 2yrs old and is mid-molt. She seems completely normal and is eating/drinking fine.
I happened to handle her today as she was being cheeky and not going back in the house to roost, and I noticed this lump on her underside right at the top of the sternum. Touching it...
