As long as you clean all the visible pus, and then do a round of antibiotics, you should be ok. If you can't get all the infection out in the first try, you can always try again. I was scared to try as well, but now I dont regret it at all. My hen is doing just fine
I cleaned it as best as I could and did a course of antibiotics. If yours has a scab go ahead ad pull it out. If you have to lance, I would recommend using PRID first until a scab is formed and then pull out all the pus. I think it is less invasive than lancing, but at the end both methods...
I think it's the new healing tissue/scab. I cleaned it up to the muscle, where I couldn't see any more yellow stuff, put antibiotic ointment on it and then bandage. The next day it was this color
Hi, I just cleaned a blister like this on my chicken. However, I did not lanced, just remove the scab and the yellow stuff. But I feel a hard lump around the spot where the scab was. Do I need to lance? This is 2 days after I cleaned. The red circle is where I can feel a hard lump

Tried to take another picture of the content. Looks like it may have a membrane, so could may be what you mentioned, a soft shelled material, but not sure.
It feels rubbery, almost like a chicken nugget meat. She has access to oyster shells and I do see her eating it. All the laying hens are pecking at it. I will add the calcium +D vitamin. She was laying normal eggs before the 2 soft shelled ones she laid at the roost, and her shells are usually...
She is an orpington hen, so she is probably at least 6 lbs, do I have to give 350 mg twice a day? It seems a lot since that's the dose my 60 lb dog was getting when he got a UTI (that's why I have some antibiotics on hand).
I started her on half the dose, but if she needs more I can increase...
I have a hen that laid a yolk and a soft shell egg while on the roost at night on the poop tray there was a broken yolk. I was hoping someone laid a shell less egg and they started to eat it. She did well and kept laying normally a couple weeks after that. But now I think she laid the yolk and...
She laid a soft shell egg on the roost, but on the poop tray there was a broken yolk. I was hoping someone laid a shell less egg and they started to eat it. But now I think she laid the yolk and it could have been broken inside her. A couple weeks later she laid another soft shell egg and found...
How is she doing now? Mine just laid a lash egg today. She's 8 months old and has been laying for a couple months now. I think one yolk broke inside her
