    Does anybody know whats going on here?

    I have two chickens that have naked vents but I can't find any flies, mites or other critters on them. The one on the picture is especially bad. The naked places are hot and dark red. Could it be that she has mites under her skin? What can I do to treat it?

    Does anybody know what this could be?

    No it was not a full crop. After I tried the surgery where I didn't find anything I slaughtered her and took her organs out. I found the crop sack and it was almost empty. She was panting a lot more than the other chickens and her comb was not very red. She also didn't have the strength to...

    Tumor or full crop?

    Do you know if I could massage it out if it is in there for many weeks? She is still eating and as fare as I know pooping.

    Tumor or full crop?

    My favorite chicken has this tennis ball big thing on her breast. It seams to make her uncomfortable. She is panting a lot even if it is not warm and after I touch on it also spreading her wings looking not happy. It is there for many weeks already but I never payed much attention to it till...
