    Bantam has lump on back?

    There's really nothing to "see" - it's more of a "feel" thing, but she is walking a bit lopsided. I'll try to get a pic that shows it. Her skin isn't broken at all tho - I thought maybe it was an infected area with mites or something but what I could see at skin level looked fine, healthy and pink.

    Bantam has lump on back?

    Thanks - I did about 2 hrs of googling this morning and it seems tumors are not uncommon. Regardless - tumor or internally laid egg - there doesn't seem much to do for her. We put her back with the flock this afternoon and she's just doing her little chickie things but going in and out of the...

    Bantam has lump on back?

    Our little Mille Fleur d'Uccle bantam hen is about 23 weeks old. She is definitely the bottom of the pecking order and can get picked on a bit by the full-size birds.

    Quote: I fully agree. I called our police department, explained our situation, and got permission directly from them that I can discharge a firearm within the city limits if we get attacked again. Make sure you check your local ordinances. The last thing you need is to add insult to injury by...

    To all irresponsible dog owners; UPDATE; THE LEGACY CONTINUES!!!!!

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Right after we moved this past January, a pack of 3 stray/feral dogs killed our entire flock. They actually ripped the coop apart. I was hysterical for days. My "favorite", Penny, wasn't found unfortunately. I had no idea stray animals are such a problem in...

    My dog a predator?

    I'll be watching this thread for tips. My very sweet shihtzu mix munched one of my 3 wk old chicks yesterday and of course it died. I was very upset, for obvious reasons. I'm sure he meant no harm. He probably viewed it as a live squeeky toy!! But it happened within a split second and he won't...
