    Chicken with manky comb - what is it?

    6 months follow up as promised... She dissapeared for a bit but is back in the mornings for food. No idea where she sleeps. Still very wild. The lesion no longer obstructs her vision, I think because it has got bigger. She still seems pretty happy. Neighbors say she is at least 10 years old...

    She sleeps high in a tree. It would be tricky to ambush her. Will see how she does over the next week.

    She looks like either a cross or a poor example of one. That is a breed they have here.

    Chicken with manky comb - what is it?

    The story is she belonged to an old neighbour who died and the previous owners of this house have looked after the hens for 6 years. This hen is likely more like 8yrs old. Her hen sisters have died. She is here because the previous owners thought that catching and caging her at her age having...

    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    Thanks for your help thoughts. We don't get frost here at all. I am wondering if the gray mass is not actually comb but hard puss-like exudate or a tumor as Akrnaf2 suggested.

    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    I know this in an incubation thread but you guys help with chickens problems, so hoping you can help as I did not get many answers when I posted this on the illnesses section. I just moved house and it came with an old (6-8) year old hen. I said I would look after her till she died. She has a...

    Chicken with manky comb - what is it?

    We just moved 2 days ago and the house came with a single elderly (6-8 years approx) semi feral hen that we said we would keep until she died (previous house owners left 3 sacs of food for her). She sleeps in a tree but comes to the door to be fed every morning, but keeps her distance. She seems...
