No, none of the other chickens have growths. Thank you.

It appeared all of sudden. Maybe a few days ago, I didn’t really notice until today. After reading up on it and consulting with a friend who also experienced fowlpox I’m almost positive that’s what it’s it is. There was a lot of mosquito larva in buckets we’ve had a lot of rain.

No, it turns out he most likely has fowlpox. He can recover. There is no need to euthanize him.

I will try that. Are you thinking he has fowlpox, with the mosquito question?

My rooster’s face is covered in tumors. I’m not sure how to treat it. He is such a nice and lovely boy, he needs help, it is starting to impede his vision in one eye.

I have not stomach tubed a chicken in awhile. I hear some people say to put the tube on the left side to reach the crop, I obviously know not in the middle because of the trachea going to the lungs. But which left side? The chicken’s left side, or you looking straight on at the chicken left...

The only evidence she has left from the injury is her purple antiseptic spray.

She recovered a 100%! She is back with the flock and living a happy and normal life :) Thanks for your concern.

Thanks everyone! I will.

I started her on amoxicillin today. I couldn’t get my hands on injectable penicillin, we can’t buy it at the feed store anymore in California.

P..S. She is eating and drinking.

Yes, thank y Yes, thank you. That is exactly the route I was going to take. If my horse vet can’t get me some penicillin g procaine soon, I was going to go to the feed store and buy fish mox and give it to her orally as a back up plan. Thanks!!
