    Help! Swollen growth size of fava bean with hardened feathers growing out of the growth - limping, just splinted her broken foot

    Please guide me: the splinted leg is not healing, ❤️‍🩹, and the hen is not able to walk on this leg at all. She also has this feather-cyst or tumor-like growth that I am not sure how to support…Can you advise me please?

    Hoping for some wisdom! Her foot has not yet healed and it is still in a splint. The feather cyst or tumor also has not gotten worse or better. Please advise me based on any of the pictures above or this video:

    Help! Swollen growth size of fava bean with hardened feathers growing out of the growth - limping, just splinted her broken foot

    Thank you - I will try to get a better picture tomorrow. Both pictures are from the same “cyst” that is right near her right leg. The harden feathers are protruding from the cyst. The area is swollen and red.

    Survivor of Fly Strike - surrounded by flies AGAIN

    How do I keep the flies away from her? I have cut off all the feathers around her vent and put Abrah salve on her wound, which is once again bleeding.... her sisters are putting her, but I know if these are her last days, she would probably prefer to be with them to be alone in her...

    Hen with failing legs

    Help! Eight year old Rhode Island Red...She is eating, seems dehydrated, very watery stools - her legs literally can't hold her up. No sign of bugs, or scale on her legs. I've separated her and fed her scrambled eggs with oregano and garlic, and put aloe vera meat in her water. Please advise...

    Severe egg bound hen

    Hi friends! Please help, she is several days in and has not pooped or laid an egg. She has soaked in a warm Epson salt bath and I wonder if I can give her some half of the 5 mg laxative bisacodyl? Thank YOU 🙏🏽 Chickima

    Interbreeding?

    I saw an eye, a beak, and wings. But if it were an organ, what to do now? Maybe One of the pullets was wrongly sext as a rooster. But wouldn’t that require the rooster to have gone through puberty to inseminate a hen?!!! They are only 4-5 months old. The hens are six years old.

    Interbreeding?

    I have eight hands and they free range in the yard and four or not yet laying. Today in the nesting box I found a chicken embryo and we do not have a rooster. I am fully upside down about this and would love your thoughts? Here’s a pic. Also it’s been several months and my pullets are still...
