    Looking for input with ongoing sick hen!

    @Wyorp Rock @dawg53 @Eggcessive Hi All, just reaching back out. I haven’t had the heart to cull her because it seemed she was getting better. She is completely isolated from the rest of the flock though still. As time has gone on I’m thinking it fits wet fowl pox. One of the other 2 she is...

    Any microbiologists???

    This is a follow up of a different question I posted. I had suspected canker but wanted to see if I could tell for sure. I have a microscope I don’t know much about. I believe this was at 400 power. I saw two of these in the swab I did but I do not have the exact right collectioninf...

    Thank you so much for you input, much appreciated!! It’s definitely abnormal looking and mostly on the one side. It’s always so hard to get good photos which makes it difficult. Not the same as in person For sure!

    It’s odd because the rest of her skin in that area is pink/red. The overgrowth of tissue or whatever it is is a different color and texture. It also has completely obscured her nare on that side. It’s not visible at all. :(

    I realize this is a terrible picture. She’s a tiny gal and her beak is small and I hate to cause more stress for a pic. You can see the roof of her mouth is all yellow and there is one yellow lesion that isn’t very obvious.

    Hi there, I was able to and it does look yellow ish on the roof of the mouth and one lesion. Still didn’t notice a bad smell. Have you seen anything fungal mouth infections? That is my only other thought. She defintley has difficulty swallowing. Thank you for your comment!

    Hi thank you for hi, thank you for you reply, it is much appreciated! I meant to put a comment in there that her pupil has been like that since she was a chick. I am not sure if it was an injury or what. I had been concerned and looked at pictures of ocular mareks. I know nothing is conclusive...

    I have a year and an half old prairie bluebell hen. A couple of months ago I noticed she was being bullied and by herself. She quit laying then. She also started molting so I attributed some of her behavior to that. She seemed better but now is droopy again. One of her nares is completely...
