    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello all! Thanks for your friendly nudge. We are doing fine, but 2 of our hens got eaten by a young fox during the day when they were in the garden... The fox is also so small and looks malnourished. Life is hard! So we have got 2 very young hens (2 months old) to accompany the remaining one...

    Hi all, After a course of Metronidazole (about 50mg for 5 days) plus 10 days or so after that, both of the lumps fell off! (Picture below is from when only the right side fell off. Another attached is her after the 2nd one dropped off) There are still small growths and she bleeds a tiny...

    Hard lumps started in nostril bulging bigger quickly

    Hi @dawg53 , it took me a few days but I finally managed to get the Metronidazole 250mg tablets (Flagyl 250mg in France). The hen seems to be feeling okay. Eating okay and running around in the garden. The hen weighs about 800g or around. One website says oral dosage is 10-50 mg/kg. Should I...

    It seems it caused dryness and irritation. I am not going to use it to this hen, but thanks :)

    Hard lumps started in nostril bulging bigger quickly

    [Update] The area on the lumps I put peroxide with Qtips the day before yesterday got very dried and there are some superficial cracks 🧐 The hen is still behaving normally, but she scratches the affected area more often (once every few minutes, or less)... We will try to get Metronidazole...

    Hard lumps started in nostril bulging bigger quickly

    Thanks for your comment, much appreciated! The lump became this size within just 2 - 3 weeks. It might be slowing down just recently, but I am not sure. This girl tended to have dirty nostrils with food and soil, so it could be some sort of infection...? Though I have no idea...

    Hard lumps started in nostril bulging bigger quickly

    Thank you for getting back! We are in South France, quite warm climate with lots of mosquitoes! It's getting cold but even now in Novermber there are still some of them lurking... We have two more hens but I don't think I see any scabs on them. The hen with the lump is about 1 year old. It has...

    Hard lumps started in nostril bulging bigger quickly

    Hello there, Our 1-year-old Beijing Bantam has two lumps growing in her nostril. I read some other threads here and try to clean them with Q-tips with Peroxyside, but they are very hard and the moist tips just rubbed a little bit of dirt off the tumors and it didn't feel it will solve the...

    Hello from Southern France!

    Hello there, Thanks for adding me to this wonderful community! We live in the South of France and we have a flock of 3 bantam hens at the moment. We have already lost several for a fox attack, one for probably a cat attack, lost 2 for unknown disease... We try to let them out in our garden, but...
