    Bantam chick breed ID

    Thanks for your input. Yeah, #1, the black one, I was thinking everything from OEGB, to Japanese bantam or a rosecomb. #2 I had no guesses. #3 I thought was definitely an BBOEGB but she has odd colored legs. Mostly yellow feet but her legs are more of a mustard brown. I guess more time will...

    Bantam chick breed ID

    1 2 3 Hello :) As many of us have done this time of year, I walked into Tractor Supply to buy feed and walked out with 4 chicks! Lol All were “assorted bantams”. They all have clean legs and 4 toes. All about 2 1/2 weeks old. One I have already ID’d as a golden sebright The other 3 I’m really...

    Weird growth or infection

    Unfortunately when I got home from work today Duchess’s infection has gotten worse :( It is now all around her ear canal and she had some crusty pus I was able to clean out. She’s also developed 2 sores on her comb. That’s making me wonder if it’s actual a fungal problem. I’m really at a loss of...

    Weird growth or infection

    Thaks for that! I am way underdosing the Tylan 50. Will definitely up it to 1 tsp. Per gallon and will keep you guys posted on how she’s doing.

    Weird growth or infection

    I removed the scab because I thought perhaps a tick burrowed in there but I didn’t see anything. The scab was only surface deep like she had scratched it. It didn’t seem like a puncture. I’m doing warm compresses to try and soften the lump so I can draw the pus out. Unfortunately the nearest...

    Weird growth or infection

    Just an update for anyone reading this with info on ear infections. The lump is directly behind her ear canal. The canal itself is clear. I didn’t see any signs of mites, fungus or crud/pus. I tried to gently squeeze the lump (she was NOT happy with this) but it’s hard and I couldn’t get...

    Weird growth or infection

    Wow, just a quick search and it looks like that could definitey be what it is. Now I just have to figure out how to treat it. I have some Tylan 50 I might try.

    Weird growth or infection

    I thought about that but it seems to be directly above the ear and not in it. I’ll have to check out some pics of ear infections online. Thanks

    Hello :)

    Thanks for the warm welcome :) I have 2 silkies, a Porelain D’uccle, a Golden Necked D’uccle and 1 Serama. They are quite an interesting bunch, lol

    Weird growth or infection

    My Porcelain D’uccle started getting a weird “growth” on her face about a week ago. It’s directly behind her eye and right above her ear. It has dried blood at the center, so at first I thought it was a puncture. I cleaned it well and saw that only the surface had dried blood, like she had been...
