    Tumor or abscess on beak/wattle?

    I’m so sorry for your loss.. how sad. Sounds like you did everything for her and kept her comfortable. I don’t suppose you did a necropsy or the vet had any more clear idea of what the problem was after the fact ? My vet prescribed more antibiotics but there’s no pus, it’s not red, it just...

    Tumor or abscess on beak/wattle?

    Thanks so much for the update, sending y’all good vibes. I’m having trouble getting the antibiotics into my hen… she shakes her head so vigorously and it’s really hard to open her beak. I was putting it in blue berries and raspberries but this morning she wouldn’t eat them, I think she caught...

    Abscess on beak

    Wow it really does look like that other thread thank you! The inside of her mouth on that side looks dark like the outside but otherwise normal. It’s hard to get a good look because she won’t hold still with beak open. 1ml SMZ twice daily which I’ve been pretty successful administering wiring...

    Abscess on beak

    Has anyone had a hen with a black growth on their beak? My vet thinks it’s an abscess or blood blister. Prescribed antibiotics and may decide to dig it out a bit.

    layer pellet ingredients

    A local farm is making this layer feed and I love the idea of supporting them but I'm unsure about all the "byproduct" ingredients. I'm def going to feed something I can buy easily in a bag. What do y'all think of this feed? Ingredients: plant protein products, animal protein products, grain...

    Reintroducing healing hen to flock

    Hello! I have an adult hen that is healing from a broken leg. This week it will be 1 month, the leg has been splinted and she goes back for an X-ray this week. We’ve kept her separate, with another older hen, from the rest of the flock as she heals. The hens in the rest of the flock seem fine...
