    Help- Lump near hen's eye

    Did you ever figure out what the lump was? My girl has a large lump over her eye. It is soft and doesn’t bother her when to touch it. But it is getting bigger over the las 6 months

    Growth over my chickens eye

    I posted around 6 months ago that my French Marans had a growth over her eye that didn’t seem to bother her. When I sent the group pictures the advice I got was that it was probably an ingrown feather and since it’s not bothering her to leave it alone. In the last 6 months it has been getting...

    Large lump over chickens eye for several months now

    It has not changed size in over 6 months. I haven’t palpated it recently to see if it’s soft or hard. I will do that today. Thanks for the advice. I was worried about lancing it bc it’s so close to her eye and she doesn’t seemed bothered by it

    Large lump over chickens eye for several months now

    My black copper marans has had a large lump over her eye for a while now(maybe 6 months or so). It doesn’t seem to bother her and she can still see. She is laying as well. I was concerned with lancing it since it hasn’t changed but I would love some advice. Thank you

I feed the girls Bar Ale pellets and sometimes treat them with a raw cabbage to peck at or some left over rice. It...

    Could this be gout on my 3 year old hen?

    I noticed that one of my hens has severely enlarged feet and legs on both feet. I cleaned her feet and checked the bottom of both feet and did not see any obvious wounds just the swelling. Her toenails? (Spurs) are all very long as well. Any advice on how I should treat this? She is still...

    Large lump above chickens eye with wheezing and some coughing

    I noticed today that a few of my flock were coughing. As I was watching the girls I noticed my Marans has a large lump above her eye. When I picked her up it sounded like she was wheezing. I have 10 girls and I observed about 4 of them coughing. They all seem to be eating and drinking fine and...

At first on.y one of my hens seemed to be losing feathers due to bullying but now I noticed another one of my hens with Injuries. I am not sure which one of my other...
