    Cyst/lump near eye of chicken.

    Sadly antibiotic ointments aren't over the counter where I live. Is there any other course of action not involving antibiotics?

    Cyst/lump near eye of chicken.

    Update for the curious: she seems to be getting better, the mass solidified into a gray lump and is getting smaller. Her eye survived by some miracle! We think the incision relieved the pressure at least somewhat.

    Cyst/lump near eye of chicken.

    Sadly not gonna be able to do that. If she gets any worse in the next week we'll probably put her down. She looks super healthy except for that, she has an appetite and doesn't seem out of energy, even keeps up with all the other chickens.

    Cyst/lump near eye of chicken.

    We tried the operation, the mass smelled bad from the outside. But it was a failure. We were cutting into it and nothing was coming out. We were about half deep into it and it looked like meat inside, we tried pushing it out, using tweezers and nothing. It appears that it's not a cyst. Also she...

    Cyst/lump near eye of chicken.

    An acquaintance's chicken has a weird lump near the eye, they tried to drain it but no pus came out. I think that it's a deep cyst, possibly some respiratory infection. I'm writing this for them as they don't really use English websites. Any advice on treatment? I think a hypodermic needle...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    Thanks for the reply I don't think they would dig into that as they free range Durning the day. I'm probably going to try the zeolite first. And if I find anything rubbery or so I would try it in our smaller coop.

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    They couldn't be broken at home down but I found one that's around 1mm which is like 0.04 inches that would probably be better right? And for the cleaning I usually use this sorta scapula with the zeolite it would probably be better to use a shovel? And my last concern is if it would get in the...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    I think that the granules are a bit too big I searched up what the refreshener looked like and it was more like sand that gravel.

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    Thanks for the reply I just searched it up and found this I appearently it's around .25 inches per piece. It's quite cheap but I can't imagine what cleaning with this would be like. Any tips? Forgot the link here it is also it's in my native language but the main thing is the image...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    Thanks for the reply. Next time I'm buying something I'll probably ask the clerk at the store if they know anything about its composition. I'll also check if there is anything made of zeolite or maybe even if PDZ is in stock. I hope that more research is done to make it clear what is safe to use...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    And also I did a little researching right now and found that zeolite also contains crystalline silica. If I'm lying then correct me please but I think that PDZ is made from zeolite. I'm not sure though I use a respirator when working in the coop and with this stuff so if DE is dangerous in any...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    About the DE I just said that on a whim as I was unsure and now that I went to look I can't really find anything on the bag and the internet all it says is that it is made of minerals. If you know this product or any similar ones could you confirm it is made from DE as I have heard that it is...

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    Hi thanks for the reply. We don't have the common open design coop. Our coop is just a place where the chickens sleep and we release them soon in the morning. They only sleep in the coop and therefore it is quite small. The door is quite hard to acces so I don't think poop boards would work. I'm...
