    Hen with lump on face? Non emergency.

    We did a bit of chicken operation tonight and poked the lump with a needle. What came out was clear fluid mixed with a teensy bit of blood here and there. I was kinda surprised that it didn't have actual mass given how hard it felt previously. Hopefully it doesn't fill back up but for now we are...

    Hen with lump on face? Non emergency.

    It's not abnormally warm or anything it is fairly hard. There is a bit of a discoloration I attempted to get pictures but neither her or the camera were super cooperative. I'm wondering if the brown spot is where it wants to pop. I did do the compress so we will see if that did anything lol. If...

    Quick update I'm waiting to get a better eye wash for Beetlejuice. I tried a couple days of the spray and it didn't improve. I'll post a couple more pictures of her from today where it is much worse. I'm wondering if it may be more of an abscess?

    I'll go ahead and get some vetricyn poultry spray stuff from TSC. Apparently that is safe for eyes. Unless you guys have any other suggestions of products especially ones I can get at tractor supply lol. I worry a bit extra about putting ointment stuff in her eyes since I'm not always sure it's...

    Hen with lump on face? Non emergency.

    Beetlejuice is a black Australorp a little over a year old I believe she has had a bump on her face for several months now (since like April I believe). Sometimes it gets bigger sometimes it shrinks. If I remember correctly it feels hard she has no symptoms of any illness. I kinda figured I'd...

    6 week old chick with wry neck

    Hello I need some help determining how much to feed our little one (6 weeks old) with wry neck. Right now we do have to feed her by syringe since she won't eat much by herself so we have been giving her 1cc of rooster booster and an egg yolk or two via syringe. Is that enough she's a jersey...

    Older chicken not doing well

    Hi I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do. I'm currently watching someones sick chicken while they are out of town and before I started watching them their parents noticed they were lame but with no signs of bumblefoot or leg injury. It's largely her left leg and it seems to randomly do better...

    Early Mite Treatment: Diatomaceous Earth and Garlic Juice?

    I totally hadn't even considered horse fly spray lol! I did find some however we weren't 100% confident about spraying them directly so we put some on a paper towel and wiped everyone a bit. We did clean all their bedding and their cage and sprayed all of it however later we will probably need...

    Early Mite Treatment: Diatomaceous Earth and Garlic Juice?

    We aren't putting too much DE in with them since we know it can be an irritant. We don't want to use any permethrine products since we have cats. We wouldn't be feeding them the garlic juice we are spraying it on them. With it being caught early we are hoping to treat it right away preferably...

    Early Mite Treatment: Diatomaceous Earth and Garlic Juice?

    Hello! The other day we picked up new chicks and put them in with our broody mama in a hamster cage in our garage (semi quarantining). We started noticed these past couple days incredibly tiny bigs scurrying around the cage. We are pretty sure it's mites and we are pretty sure we've caught it...
