    Fowl pox? See pics

    Have you seen pigeons around or are there wild birds drinking from their waterers? Canker, a protozoan infection, does smell bad. I haven’t seen that or wet fowl pox, so I am not sure that wet pox smells bad, but I didn’t think it did. Usually when we see dry pox, wet pox seems likely with the...

    Should I put hen back with others?

    It is good to treat with enough so if they are 6-7 pounds, I would use 1.5-1.75 ml of the wormer. Is she eating and drinking some today? Her comb can be pale and dry during a molt.

    Graphic!!! Mystery problem… anyone know what this is?

    I had a family member with a background in pathology, look at the pictures again, and he wondered if this may have been a clump of food, meat, and other material that had decayed inside the beak or throat. He said it looked too walled off to be a cancer. I’m not sure if something like that had...

    Graphic!!! Mystery problem… anyone know what this is?

    I found a small tumor inside the abdomen of a hen that died that looked like that. It was hard, unattached, and had the same light gray appearance. As I said I am not a vet. Hopefully others will see this and chime in. I think that @coach723 does some necropsies, and @azygous probably had done a...

    Fowl pox? See pics

    It probably is wet fowl pox also called diphtheritic fowl pox. Is there a bad odor inside her beak? There is no cure for wet pox, since it is a virus, only supportive care. That would include help with eating, and they may also have trouble breathing. Here is some reading...

    Graphic!!! Mystery problem… anyone know what this is?

    Sorry for your loss. I am not a vet, but it looks like cancer. Normally, I would have had the state vet lab do a necropsy on the remains. You might be able to email pictures of the mass for an opinion. The vet college in Gainsville might help. Here is a link...

    How to make a chicken eat and on her own? Or how to make the chicken get her appetite back?

    Did you treat her with the vitamin E and B complex that was recommended in your other first thread about this hen? If so, what dosage and for how long? Your hen was being picked on at that time, and wry neck can be from head injuries, vitamin E or thiamine deficiency or from some diseases.

    Should I put hen back with others?

    It would not hurt to worm her and the rest with SafeGuard liquid goat wormer 1/4 ml per pound of weight given orally for 5 consecutive days. That gets round, cecal, capillary and gapeworms. If you use it once and again in 10 days, that gets roundworms.

    Where to fill/buy meloxicam prescribed for chickens?

    I understand. You may have to just get it from the vet. With certain antibiotics, many have to sign agreements that they will not eat the eggs or meat of the chicken.

    Blood or lining?

    The albendazole is usually only available online, and that store is in post 4. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer which is usually available at most feed stores, probably should be avoided while she is worming. Some say it can affect feather regrowth. Your vet could do a fecal float to look for worms...

    Broken leg on 6 month old turkey

    Were you able to try and get a picture, or to splint the leg?

    What is wrong with my girl!?

    The vitamins are given once a day. I would try to mix some chicken feed, water, and some soft cooked or scrambled egg. There are other videos on how to feed chickens with wry neck, and here is one:

    Where to fill/buy meloxicam prescribed for chickens?

    I think that meloxicam is one of those that has to be prescribed by a vet. Some here have had it prescribed by their vet. If you can see the vet, then you could probably get a prescription through Chewy.

    Older hen with breathing/respiratory issues. At a loss

    Very sorry for your loss. In California, if you lose a chicken, your state vet can perform a necropsy to find a cause of death with testing, if you should lose another bird. It is very reasonable.

    Bloody stool

    I would remove the watermelon, since you would want them to only drink Corid water. You can however, add a little Corid water to a small bowl of chicken feed if they are eating.

    Whats this?

    You might want to apply some iodine on it and watch it to see if it forms an abscess. Here is what fowl pox looks like: https://the-chicken-chick.com/fowl-pox-prevention-treatmen/

    Whats this?

    It could be a peck wound or injury but hard to tell. Do you have mosquitoes out now?

    Is this fowl pox?

    Fowl pox is spread by mosquitoes. You may see more chickens with it. Most people do not isolate a chicken with pox since it may be hard to reintegrate them after being gone and the pecking order is different. You could put her in a dog crate during the day with food and water where she can still...

    Chicken alert, tail downwards and not moving

    Sorry for your loss. She may have suffered from a reproductive disorder such as egg yolk peritonitis or cancer. If you still have her body you could place it in clean plastic bags and in the refrigerator or inside a cooler on ice, but don’t freeze it. That way in the an you could call your...

    What is wrong with my girl!?

    The b complex can be crushed into a spoonful of water or into some egg. The E can be popped up into her beak to swallow. Walmart has good prices on vitamins. Here is a video on how to give a pill or medication:
